Tasting Notes

"Smelling and tasting bourbon at this proof is difficult to get to suss out, but what you'll find pre-water/ice is the barrel char smoke and spice. Once you add water (personal preference leans towards cold water rather than an ice cube), you'll find beef jerky aromas with a touch of maple syrup. Your palate will find more spice than sweet and overall, more savory than previous batch releases. The finish is lengthy and rich with cinnamon, smoke, and leather."
