The maple charcoal filtering makes this 100 proof surprisingly smooth, I can sip it neat without any burn. That ripe stone fruit note really comes through on the finish.

I can really taste the caramel corn and ripe stone fruit notes they mention—it’s rich without being heavy. The sugar maple charcoal filtering makes this 100 proof go down way easier than I expected for the proof.

The 100 proof is surprisingly smooth, I think the sugar maple charcoal filtering really mellows it out. That caramel corn flavor comes through perfectly in every sip, and it doesn't have that harsh burn some higher-proof whiskeys do.
