Tasting Notes
"Classic coconut and vanilla sweetness present on the nose along with a touch of peanut, red fruits and char smoke. The bourbon is moderately rich and chewy on the palate and just a pleasure to drink from beginning to end. Flavors to highlight are brown butter, beef jerky, and leather. The proof gives just enough bite to the finish, water not necessary. If desired, maybe just a few cool drops or a large rock. One to bring out for special occasions...like making it through the day."
