The nose starts with a mix of moderately sour grapes, tobacco and old oak then dark chocolate cherry cordials with brandy center followed by candied pecans that fades to fruits of sautéed caramel apples, lemon rind and orange zest that transition to ginger, cloves, antique leather and polished mahogany with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with creamy caramel then a mix of moderately sour grapes, tobacco and a medium drying old oak spice that slowly fades to dark chocolate covered candied pecans followed by sautéed apples, lemon candy and macerated cherries that transitions to ginger, cloves, antique leather and polished mahogany with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with dark chocolate, musty grapes, candied pecans, cherries jubilee, antique leather and moderate ashy old oak spice. This is a very good bourbon that manages to incorporate bourbon, sherry and cognac together well, but has a higher sour and medium oaky spice than I prefer. I’d still happily take a pour of this anytime, but I’m not likely to buy a bottle with the $91 price around me. For those of you that enjoy those spicier and slightly sour notes in your bourbon, I think you’ll be happy here, but I feel as if bourbon works best for me with no finishing. A huge thank you to @ctbeck11 for the generous pour of this one.
