Reviewed December 25, 2020 (edited January 15, 2021)Aroma - Nosing neat, the aroma is very complex and remarkable. I’m picking up on tart blueberry cobbler, green apple, mild sherry notes. As it breathes in the glass, a bit of an earthy cola vibe enters, not unlike root beer. A touch of vanilla is present as well in the form of cream soda. After adding a teaspoon of water, the sherry wine, green apple and tart blueberry notes are brought forward strongly. Very interesting nose on this one. Taste - tasting neat - Rich, brown sugar, mild honey, rum cake. A bit hot. Adding a teaspoon of water . . . Bittered honey, butter and vanilla. Final Thoughts : Quite an interesting bourbon, especially for the price (30.00 at my store). The nose might be the best part of this bourbon. I found that the addition of water made the aroma more interesting, but the flavor less so. Try this one neat and with water side by side and see what your preference is.
