Tasting Notes
"Apricot fruit leather, clove, and cinnamon greet the nostrils. The fruitiness on the palate is more akin to cherry cola — black cherry, allspice, clove, with hints of vanilla. This is one of the brawnier styles of bourbon — rich, musky, and spicy with a bit of char, and it definitely keeps going. "
