Reflection 1 opens with an enjoyable nose thanks to its apricot, fresh flowers, honey, and french toast scents. It smells like spring in a glass and is a refreshing start to the whiskey. The palate follows with swirls of delicious marmalade, cinnamon, and fried dough. Though sweet, the palate never goes overboard with it. The finish is contrastingly spicy, throwing heavy amounts of rye spice and marzipan before introducing spicy leather. This whiskey benefits the most from slow sipping and reflection, much like its name implies. As a whole, it doesn’t quite come together, but if you take the time to access each part of it individually, you'll find something to appreciate.
