Tasting Notes
"Prolonged contact with new charred oak is sometimes rough on bourbon, but this grand dame is like a liquid pecan pie. The nose gives off whiffs of dark chocolate, maple syrup, roasted nuts, and a hint of leather. The palate has that sweet pecan pie richness (buttery caramel, roasted pecans, sweet spices) along with more bittersweet chocolate. A surprisingly youthful, tangy hit of stoned fruit preserves (apricot, peach, tart plum) move into the midpalate and carry the flavors toward the finish, which is a satisfyingly long mix of chocolateyness, nuttiness, and butteryness with a pleasant grip of earthiness and leathery char.
