Poured neat. Nose is a potent blend of sweet oak, baking chocolate and vanilla, with a subtle hint of peanut shells and liquorice. Mouth feel is dense and buttery. A roller coaster of flavor starting with Homemade cinnamon rolls freshly frosted from the oven, a mixed fruit cocktail, and cracked pepper. The finish is moderate to long with flavors of tobacco and grape skins lingering after the heat subsides. Absolutely a bourbon to keep in rotation.
