The nose starts with a mix of florals, powdered sugar covered dehydrated apricots and dusty oak then milk chocolate covered caramel squares and toasted walnuts followed by anise spiced baked pears, charred orange peel and maraschino cherries that transitions to spearmint, cloves, ginger and polished leather with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting floral and sweet with powdered sugar dusted tropical fruit salad before a moderate spice that quickly fades to charred orange peel and dusty oak then milk chocolate covered caramel squares and toasted walnuts followed by anise spiced baked pears, sautéed cinnamon apples and black cherries that transitions to spearmint, cloves, ginger and polished leather with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with a mild ashy oak spice, charred orange peel, anise spiced baked pears, spearmint, cloves, ginger and polished leather. This is a fantastic bourbon that combines traditional dusty old bourbon flavors with tropical fruits, florals and unique spices to create a complex and unique profile that differs from the normal bourbon profile with a bit more spice than I’d prefer, but not to the point of overpowering those unique flavors. For around $80+, this is a bargain in today’s insane priced market that I would highly recommend and a huge thanks to @soonershrink for providing me with a generous sample.
