Tasting Notes
"The aroma here isn't anything too out of the ordinary. You'll find some caramel, vanilla, oak and char smoke on the nose. There's a bit of a nutty brown butter note as well as a light apple note, although that is a bit tough to suss out. The bourbon feels just a bit hot on the palate, but it's fairly smooth and round in the mouth. Once again, the apple note is light -- would like it to be just a bit more intensely, but it's pleasant nonetheless. Finishes with a bittersweet note and a puff of char smoke. "
