Tasting Notes
"The nose gives of all the classic bourbon aromas of red apples, bing cherries, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and hints of pinecone and vanilla. The palate is elegantly robust, with bursts of flavor hitting all the right notes of caramel, fruit, tart, and spicy with a note of chicory adding further complexity. A spark of heat flares up in the finish, but carries through the other flavors. "
