Brown sugar, cinnamon, and oak spice peek through the ethanol vapors, with maybe some honey and cherry if you live in it long enough. The high proof shows up on the palate, but doesn’t completely drown out the flavors. Up front is apple pie with a cherry after taste. After the first taste the cinnamon on the nose is more present. The finish lasts for days as a constant warmth and sweet honey. This bourbon is subtle and complex. I can’t really pin it down except that it’s really good.
