Tasting Notes
"Simple in its elements, but displays a fairly even marriage between the softer notes of cognac and the more assertive flavors from the bourbon barrel. Aromas of cinnamon and toasted nuts yield to a brighter orange peel note. Vanilla and cotton candy lead the way at the front of the tongue with more terse barrel tannins closing out. "
