What an amazing aroma of dark caramel dipped toasted oak, chocolate cream pie, apples with cinnamon and sugar, vanilla bean, and my grandpa sitting in an old leather chair puffing away on his old pipe. Incredibly balanced and evocative, I keep smelling it. Surprisingly, the fruit hits first with bright red apple and red cherry before the toasted oak washes over the palate. Awesome weight and smoothness on the here too with hot cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and toasted marshmallow bring much welcome spice and sweetness to the party. Finish is long lasting and flavorful with more toasty oak and caramel. Damn near perfection. There’s nothing I would change about this bourbon. Nose is amazing, oak doesn’t dominate, super smooth and lively in the mouth, incredibly complex and moreish. My favorite Old Fitz to date
