Tasting Notes
"Upon smelling the bourbon you'll find brown buttered wheat toast, a light/moderate amount of oak and barrel spices and a light fresh fruity aroma. The taste leans a little hot and body-wise it's medium-light. Meanwhile, the flavors are a mix of tangy fruit and a barrel-spice driven taste. A quick sweetness on the tongue disappears quickly with drying oak tannins taking over the mid-palate causing the experience to feel a little astringent. At the very tail end of the finish the vermouth comes through, quite like finishing the last drops of a Manhattan cocktail. Overall, the flavors in the bourbon don't quite work as a unit."
