Overall
This whiskey has potential for greatness, thanks to its abounding Tiramisu notes throughout. It has a strong dessert-focused taste with unique and delicious flavors. However, it does lack a certain depth that could let this whiskey really shine. Even so, it’s impressive considering it’s only 2 years old. It’s a very well-done whiskey and a hint of amazing whiskey to come
