Tastes

Caramel with a tangy citrus and floral nose. The initial sip brings butter cream and honey, with a easy follow thru. Subsequent sips bring more honey and light toffee.

Classic bourbon notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The nose is spicy but surprisingly full and flavorful for the price point. Even at 50.5 ABV, the sip is sweet with more caramel and toffee, hinting at a deep cherry note. One of my favorite bargain buys.

Fruity and bright upfront, with pear and ripe banana, mingling with some light spice and honey. The taste brings more of the same, with citrus and banana followed by vanilla and light oak. The finish is light and smooth, with a thorough mouth coating and a lingering fruitiness.

Molasses and oaky barrel spice on the nose. Not overly forward or spicy at first sniff. The sip is smooth with a nice mellow heat. Cinnamon, leather, and brown sugar are present. The finish lingers on the tongue with more oak and some cherry.
