Tasting Notes

"It's the bourbon equivalent of seeing a seasoned performer, like Jerry Lee Lewis, in their later years. It still has all the showmanship of a great bourbon - fruit, caramel richness, vanilla, leather and lots of spice - but perhaps not as vigorous it was in its younger years, and slightly musty as to be expected. Still, it's way better than something younger and immature. And with just a chip of ice might still have a few good moves on the palate."
