N: a little harsh but lovely cardamom spice, vegetal woody notes (like new wood furniture), bitter orange marmalade and sweet caramel sticky ness. Every now and again there’s a little peppermint. P: toffee apple, cinnamon and cloves, cherry and a little chocolate. Thick, sticky sweetness with some (really only just some) balance brought from oak tannin and barrel char. F: Medium. Caramel stickyness, cinnamon and vanilla. A very full bodied bourbon that is full of simple, but bold and well delivered flavours. The effect of the barrel has reigned in the sweetness from being sickly and the spicy notes add a good bit of interest. Really solid stuff. Whisky taste #99
