Nose is fairly subdued, featuring spun sugar, strawberry, green leafy vegetable, sawdust, and light generic citrus. Definitely a unique nose with lots to like, just wish it were a little stronger. Zero, and I mean ZERO ethanol presence, which is awesome.
Those familiar with MGP expressions will find the familiar bright flavor profile here. Green apple, honey, mossy oak, and a light pepper and nutmeg spice. Flavors have depth and complexity while at the same time being very well rounded and seamlessly integrated.
Finish is medium length with a sweetness that is a trait in MGP bourbons that I like to call “ice cream sundae”; namely French vanilla and caramel. It’s a little unusual to have a bourbon go from a brassy opening to a darker finish, but that’s what these nicely aged MGP bourbons tend to do for me. Mouthfeel is soft and buttery, which is exactly what is needed to propel the flavor profile.
I think the age of the bourbons in the blend really made the difference here, as there is not a rough edge to be found. An enjoyable smooth 100 proof sipper with no discernible flaws. At the $68 I paid, I have zero regrets and can easily justify a rebuy.
