Tastes

Year 19, Batch 1, Bottle 8914. Incredibly smooth. Almost no bite. A bit of rye spice, with an uncharacteristic (for rye) additional flavor that might be from the maple but tastes licorice-like.

Smooth with heavy vanilla notes. While not as interesting or creative as, say, a Bib and Tucker or some of the single barrels, this is the benchmark for bourbon.

Sweet on the nose with a smokey finish. Rich, but with a bit of wheat-thinness at some points on the palate. Better than I expected for a local play.
