Tasting Notes

"A powerful and brusk barrel proof bourbon. Leather and black tea jump out of the glass with sweet corn aromas closing out the nose. The palate is all black pepper and rye with a nutty bitterness in the finish. With water, it is shy to expose much more depth beyond the barrel-imposed flavors."
