Finally cracking this bottle. Tried neat. Beautiful light amber. On the nares it’s spicy and sweet with notes of red pepper, pencil shavings, plastic candy wrappers, pecan, vanilla, butter pecan ice cream, candy ginger and as I sit here and continue to pull out the aromas I get fruit and blue raspberry candy. Upon first sip it’s initially smooth leaving a slightly hot finish on the palate with notes of fruit, spice, vanilla, oak, and with char being the finishing touches. What a lovely and complex bourbon.
