Orange, spices, cinnamon on the nose. Big bold flavors come out immediately on the palate, with vanilla, oak, allspice and caramelized sugar out front with menthol and cinnamon-rye taking over in the middle. Nice lingering finish as the sweet and spicy fight for dominance. It’s not for beginners and a bit hot for its proof but a quality dram for those looking for complexity in a bourbon.
