I sampled the whiskey cooled with frozen liquid filled plastic cubes. It starts with that sharp alcohol taste in the back of the throat. I usually don’t like that feeling and start at room temperature. I then warmed this to room temperature and it went from woody to sweet. The back of the throat bite also went away and the flavor was on the sides of the mouth. I liked it much better there. After warming it further, it smoothed out more. The flavor was more in the center of the tongue than the sides or back. I was very smooth then and I would recommend anyone try this at just $24.
