Tasting Notes
"Big, rich nose, with vanilla, char, and notes of corn, with oak, rye spice, and a slightly herbal undertone. More sweetness comes through on a smooth palate, with caramel and brown sugar up front. It is well-balanced with a drier, oaky influence, and spice. Finish comes in with dry oak, leading to burnt caramel, dark chocolate, and maple syrup with cedar, spice, and a touch of smoke. A delightful, bold bourbon's bourbon."
