Belle Grove 1797

Smokey, smooth, spicy finish.

Nose is completely dominated by wood. Barrel char, tree bark, tobacco and burnt caramel something very herbal. Maybe the stump of a rosemary or mint bush. A bit of vanilla in there. Dry, astringent palate. Cedar closet, caramel, more charred wood... a bit of sticky sweetness helps add some dimension.

Another one I haven't opened in a long while! Based on a recipe from the 1800s distilled using barley, oats and rye. Still has that distinctive Copper Fox woody nose to it, lots of wood on the taste.
