A classic bourbon for sure. Rich dried fruits, cinnamon and vanilla on the nose, but the most prominent note is cocoa. Almost like a cocoa powder, it’s strong on both the nose and on the palate. Finish is smooth and warm. The high-rye mash bill also lends a gentle spice across the board. Overall, it’s pretty full-bodied, and also pretty sweet even for a bourbon, but not in an unpleasant way. If you’re a bourbon fan, it’s a perfect daily drink, and would make a nice bourbon for newcomers to start with as well.
