Another one from my recent visit to Oak and Steel in KCMO area. I have mentioned this place in serval of my other tasting notes so please check those out if you plan to be in the area. Its a whisky lovers haven!
Nose: Amber, cream, vanilla, butter, smoke, I am so in love with the aroma of this! It reminds me of a renaissance festival with the aromas of all things amazing. Sweet decadent foods, smoked meats, incense, wooded lands, everything I love and live for.
This bourbon just calls out to be enjoyed outside by a fire pit, swaddled up in a cozy blanket, while listening to great tunes!
Flavor: Full creamy mouth feel and taste with just the right amount of cinnamon.
Actually the flavor is just like the aroma and I have never quite had a bourbon like it before.
It is so unique and special I absolutely MUST get my hands on it asap!
Such a lovely creamy vanilla flavor but there is so much more, clove, orange peel, woods, smoke, butter but not butterscotch which I find quite excellent!
For me its that Amber scent and flavor that grab me and make me go OH YES!
No idea where the amber scent or flavor comes from but it is something I love.
It is just simply decadent.
A rare 5 stars!
Ratings have nothing to do with cost - just my impressions.
