Tasting Notes
"The flavor profile of this bourbon is very similar to an Italian rainbow cookie (the type of colored layered pastry available mostly in Italian American bake shops). Specifically, it breaks down to aromas and flavors of candied almonds (marzipan), caramel, milk chocolate, candied cherries, pineapple frond, cinnamon, and pistachio, with a slight florality of rose petal and sweet green herbs. It's mostly sweet and pleasantly aromatic—though not soapy or too perfumey. A slight bitter oak note comes in just at the end of the finish. "
