Nose:
Heavy oak and vanilla, slight astringency, rich typical Bourbon nose with a hint of banana and caramel.
Palate:
Alcohol and astringent oak up front. Chocolate and cocoa flavors following, specifically hot chocolate powder. Dark cherry flavors come through as well.
Finish:
Quite long and satisfying. The chocolate flavors linger but transition more into the bitterness associated more with high cacao dark chocolate.
I'm a fan of Michters. In Canada this is quite pricy so wouldn't typically pay the $95 CDN that it costs, although I do really like it. I tend to try to buy this in the US when I visit, however that hasn't been much of an option these days. Overall I prefer the rye, but this is a Bourbon that hits the targets it is going for.
