Tasting Notes
"Considering the age and that it's named for a boxing promoter, among other things, it lacks a little punch. It's heavy on the sweet side - vanilla, butterscotch, caramel, milk chocolate, red apples, ripe pears and a bit of banana. Some sweet spice and toasted oak round out the finish. For those who enjoy a sweeter style of whiskey, this is for you."
