Nose: Warm, rich, and inviting. There’s a great caramel note and some typical bourbon notes that are ramped up. Great vanilla, sweet cinnamon, nutmeg, and walnut. It smells like a holiday nut cake with a caramel drizzle. The oak is in the background which is just how I like it, not overpowering. Palate: The palate very closely follows the nose. On the front you get a sweet chocolate, caramel glaze, and soft vanilla ice cream. The mid palate is my favorite part of the whiskey as more of the holiday cake notes come in. Carrot cake, walnut, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. The spice is soft and rounded in such delicious way. Finish: The finish lingers and gives you the perfect amount of oak. The subtly spicy carrot cake note really hangs on and it’s truly great. Overall: This is a fantastic bourbon and it was pretty unique in how the flavors came across in my opinion. Definitely one I wish I could get a bottle of! Final rating: 9.6/10
