Virginia Distillery Co. Courage & Conviction Bourbon Cask Danny Johnson Batch

Nose: caramel, vanilla, lemon zest, malty funk, very light oak, dried grass, slight ethanol, Granny Smith apples, toffee sweetness... you know what... this smells just like a caramel apple. Wow. Nose After Swirl: bigger pick up of ethanol burn, dried medicinal herbs, apple apple apple. Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Imagine all the flavors of the nose... but a but a tad bit more bitter. Like those dried medicinal herbs. The apple, the lemon zest, the bright light oakiness, it's all there. Finish: short and succinct finish, right on the verge of dryness but manages to stay nice and juicy 💦, maintains the darker notes of the palate.
