- Nose
- Curacao orange and lemon oil lead the nose above the whiskey.
- Palate
- The curacao provides the drink's sweetness, leaving the structure lean and spirit-forward. The lemon cuts through the liqueur's sugar, giving a bright, almost dry sour.
- Finish
- The finish is citrusy, lightly sweet, and whiskey-warm.
- Summary
- A lean curacao-whiskey sour with a bright citrus profile.
