Fox & Oden Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Batch #18, Bottle #2631, 2/23 bottled. I had Fox and Oden a few weeks back at a restaurant. I liked it very much, and the manager offered to buy me a bottle and sell it to me at cost (my first purchase from the bar!). Today, I picked up my bottle after having dinner there... Color: Medium copper-amber. Nose: Raisins, prunes, cherries — very fruity nose! Palate: (Drank with an ice cube) Initial sweetness on the tongue, featuring a return of the cherries from the nose. Slight tongue tingle and mild chest hug going down. Subsequent sips reveal some spicy oak. Finish: Pretty lengthy finish with lingering cherry (like cough syrup), and a nice dose of oak tannins. Very good bourbon. For some reason, I was under the impression that this was a Kentucky bourbon. But not so! Distilled in Indiana and bottled in Michigan.
