This rare cask-strength release marries the classic sweetness of American corn with the profound, peaty charisma of Islay, creating an unparalleled sensory journey for the adventurous spirits connoisseur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Initial waves of sweet corn and vanilla bean, characteristic of a well-aged American corn whiskey. This is quickly followed by a fascinating intertwining of smoky peat and brine, a direct influence from the ex-Caol Ila cask. Underlying notes of caramel, toasted oak, and a hint of dried fruit (perhaps fig or raisin) emerge, balanced by a subtle medicinal phenol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is incredibly rich and full-bodied, showcasing the impressive proof. A burst of sweet corn and decadent caramel immediately coats the palate, swiftly transitioning to a robust smoky character – not an ashiness, but a medicinal, coastal peat smoke. Vanilla and baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) provide a warm counterpoint, while a distinct saline note dances in the background, adding complexity. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, providing structure without bitterness. A surprising tropical fruit note, perhaps pineapple or mango, may emerge on the mid-palate, mingling with dark chocolate and a hint of licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming, and endlessly complex. The smoky peat lingers beautifully, harmonizing with a persistent sweetness of brown sugar and vanilla. A dry oak spiciness gradually develops, leaving a pleasant tingle. The saline and medicinal notes gently fade, leaving a memory of distant campfire and a refined sweetness that invites another sip. The high proof is evident but wonderfully integrated, leaving a satisfying warmth rather than a burn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48117681160410,"sku":"BOURBON-1782617297103","price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_21be9eaf-8ed6-4d2e-a997-93b9ede9b9db.png?v=1782672712","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/heaven-hill-distillery-unknown-spirit-124-6-proof","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
