Nose: Big caramel, pepper, oak, mint, mixed berry, heat Mouth: Full, round, deep caramel, peppery spice, berry syrup, butter pastry, vanilla and powdered sugar. Finish: Pepper, warm all the way down. Nice hug. Minty fresh. The finish has great staying power. Overall: this is a very refined bourbon. It’s evident it’s age of 8-10 years. I love this bourbon.
