Tasting Notes
"You’ll find vanilla, oak and a subtle sweetness of dried and candied fruits on the nose. There's also dark chocolate, toffee, and a touch of cigar-smoke mustiness. Double Double Oaked is dry and spicy on the palate with a viscous mouthfeel and notes of oak, leather, tobacco and cloves. The bourbon is very hot and spicy on a long lasting finish with baking spices, black pepper and more oak. An intriguing expression, although the "double double" oak characteristics overpower the whiskey a bit at times."
