Tastes

Subdued on the nose; slightly fruity. Pears with a slight peat, a hint of roasted barely. Not much on the tip of the tongue, but as the whisky rolls over the tongue the flavors reveal themselves. Warm fruit, maybe a tad bit of vanilla and just a hint of peat. Welcoming without overstaying its welcome; not too long of a finish.

Young, sourced bourbon. Very plain; corn and hay. Lingering after taste that I don't love. The real story here is the artful bottle--especially if you're a baseball fan. The bottle is a perfectly shaped and formed baseball--exact details down to the 108 stitches of a regulation Major League baseball. If you turn the bottle over, you'll see that the base of the bottle is made of a baseball diamond. The very cork itself is made from ash, a common wood for baseball bats. The whiskey is a bit overshadowed by the bottle, but I keep it on my bar anyway as a nice decoration and conversation piece.
