The nose is largely dominated by the oak of the cask. There are also notes of pear, cherry, and spearmint. On the palate, the whiskey presents with a light taste of caramel and charred wood. As it matures on the tongue it brings in a fair bit of spice, and the wood tannins come back into play. Burnt sugar, bitter cacao, and dried fruit come out in the aftertaste. After the taste, a hint of mint lays light in the mouth. A decent bourbon that would likely be good for cocktails.
