Tasting Notes
"A fifteen-year-old bourbon can be a risky proposition, taking a chance on being over-oaked. Fortunately, this release from Chicken Cock is mature but not past its prime. Supple and velvety, the palate features vanilla, date, and subtle aniseed, and finishes with a sweet note of cherry. It's a superb sipper, as is at cask strength or with a little water or ice to open it up."
