Tastes

Easy nose with hints of leather, spice. Nice full mouthfeel with some heat upfront on the palate. Finishes with a lot of spice, oak, and a bit of citrus. Not a very complex bourbon to me - originall picked up a lot of oak but it’s calmed since bottles been open. Liked it better with some water to bring down heat. Makes a good old fashioned! Updated: not much of a nose but getting a lot of seeetness on the taste. Cherries, citrus with deeper cherry taste (think luxardos) and oak in finish. Moving to 3 from 2.5 My scale: 1 - I’m giving this drink away 2 - I’ll mix it, but doesn’t stand on its own 3 - Enjoyable, but I’m willing to try something new 4 - Very good, If it’s on the shelf or menu - I’m buying 5 - Greatness Achieved, this drink is worthy of collecting

Lots of cinnamon, caramel, spice in the nose. Palate comes with heat and lots of classic bourbon flavors but with rye spice - it’s sweet, oaky, cinnamon, chocolate, caramel. Finish is long and full with apple pie, vanilla. Love this!
