This is a bourbon with some oomph! Bottled at cask strength, the nose comes off as hot with a whiff of butterscotch. It's rich and heavy-bodied on the palate, with notes of vanilla, smoke, leather, and tarragon. The finish is long and sweet with a lingering hint of clove. It's an excellent bourbon, appealing especially to those enjoy boldly flavorful whiskeys.

This straightforward bourbon leads with spice and smoke balanced by vanilla, dark tobacco, and a hint of cinnamon. The spicy finish ends with a note of dark chocolate. Bottled at 100 proof, this whiskey would do well tempered with a little ice and likely stand up in classic cocktails.

A versatile and tight blend of peppery floral spices and rich dried fruits on the nose with vanilla, citrus peel and toffee. The milky palate burst early into a fireball of rye and earthy hot pepper spice quickly zigzagging into woven grain cereals. The nose’s dark fruits and black pepper skate through a long spicy finish accentuated by bittersweet chocolate.

Rich and honeyed aromas of cornbread, mint and nut cake, this is a full-bodied whiskey both sweet and spicy, full of appeal from the first sniff. Lush and satisfying, dangerously drinkable, a bourbon whose subtlety belies its potency and recommended unreservedly.
