Nose:
Suprising Ethanol to begin. Sweeter Oak Char and Toasted Maple Pecans. Apples rolled in Cinnamon Sugar and Vanilla.
Palate:
Dark Berries and Orange Zest. Some Buttery Cream finishes off Toasted Waffles
Finish:
Medicinal Licorice lingers past a Leather note. Oak and Buttered Toast with light Raspberry and Strawberry Jams that suddenly appeared
I don't know where this 90 proof found a nose punch, but after a drop or two of water, this dram opened up tremendously. Middle of the bottle was way more complex and pleasant than Its predecessors.
I paid $40/bottle last year for 2. The price I heard these have gone to are unfortunate and ridiculous. No way will I pay anything close to it. It's not Pappy 12 and even then. It's a really good Wheated bourbon, but Sazerac needs to stop coin shaving their faithful customers' purchasing power of their products. Stop the Free Market schemes.
