Tasting Notes
"The stout finish isn't super noticeable on the nose, but you get pleasant cherry and freshly cut apples along with bright vanilla and milk chocolate. The bourbon has a moderate heft to it and a lightly slick body. There's a bittersweet taste with a moderate barrel spiced profile. Additionally, you'll find a beery/yeasty taste on the edges. Upon exhaling, the coffee/chocolate stout notes appear and almost a savory/meaty note. Maybe serve it with a steak to intensify those notes. Overall, a pleasant bourbon."
