Caramel cream

Elegant and richly appointed nose of deep corn whiskey spirit enrobed in lovely oak and char. A lot of vanilla beckons, along with baking spice and caramel cream. On the tongue, it hits gently, with a soft, yet expressive approach. A lot of high notes, tethered to a flavorful mid-range. The flavors here are ethereal and come and go at will, with fleeting moments of toffee, sweet tobacco, roasted corn, brown bread and a touch of salinity. The body is mild, while the finish is medium-long. A fine release that is remarkably affordable for a bourbon of its age.
