I liked this quite a bit. It’s a good bourbon, but $70 a bottle is a bit steep. When you can get Blade and Bow or a heartier Henry McKenna 100, there are just some better options for less.
On the nose, spun sugars, caramel, overripe banana, nice corn essence, wood chips, herbal tones, an extremely subtle nicely cooked steak, latex paint, damp forest, vanilla fudge w/ cranberries.
The palate shows really nice wood tones, sweet caramel, lite lemon zest, green herbs, with a sweet finish, quickly turning dry. There’s a hint of salt.
The finish is fleeting, leaving almost nothing behind. Think “licking dried oak.” There’s a tiny heat that pops, then it camps out for a second, then cleans up nicely with almost no trace.
Again, this is fun and honestly pretty good, but not ground shaking.
