Tasting Notes

"Cedar and oak lead on the nose, with cornmeal, figs, and syrupy candied fruits. The palate reveals the bourbon's youth, with spicy, tannic wood coming to the forefront, along with spearmint and vanilla. The finish shows somewhat bitter, once again with the drying oak, but also offers a robust resinous quality—think sappy pine trees—as well as citrus peel, lingonberries, and red fruits. Though wood-dominant, it's well-made and flavorful."
