Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the bourbon is a mix of black cherry and dried herbs along with a touch of vanilla and toasted oak. Moving on to the taste you'll find the bourbon continues with these notes with a moderately full feeling in the mouth. The fruity and spicy flavors stay with you on the dry, but not too dry, finish. A fairly balanced flavor overall for this 5 year-old bourbon. "
