December 1, 2021 (edited August 23, 2022)
Nose - Caramel, fruity vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest, dried light fleshed stone fruits, grape "must"
Taste - Fruity caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, light tannins, light stone fruit pit bitterness, fruity honey, dried light fleshed stone fruits, flamed orange zest
Finish - Lingering honey/fruity sweet, caramel, lightly bitter fruit, charred cinnamon
Score - 90/100
Final Thoughts - The influence the moscatel cask influences on their bourbon is quite nice. It adds a very nice fruity vibe to it and gives it hints of dried light fleshed stone fruits (apricot/white nectarine/white peach) throughout. Hints of sugared/flamed orange zest is quite nice and I can see this making a fantastic old fashioned too. Tiny bit of fruity bitterness might be a sign of overextraction of the barrel, but otherwise quite nice from start to finish.
