Tasting Notes
"The aroma is robust with vanilla and caramel notes along with some stone fruit (peaches, nectarines). Toasted cereal grains and hearty oak round out the scent profile. The bourbon is of average weight and your palate is quickly overcome with a fruity and spicy flavor. The taste finishes bittersweet with vanilla adding some depth to the finish. Overall the bourbon is peppery and the wine finish adds just enough sweetness and fruit to smooth out the rough edges. Serve on a big rock. "
