The nose starts with a mix peach cobbler, vanilla ice cream and a light oak spice then cocoa nibs, candied peanuts and butterscotch candy followed by Granny Smith apple peel, maraschino cherries and tangerine orange zest that transitions to light spearmint, cloves, ginger and mild black tea with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a thin to medium mouthfeel starting with creamy orchard fruit, butterscotch pudding and a light woody spice then blonde roast espresso, candied peanuts and freshly lit pipe tobacco followed by sautéed apples, cherry candy and mandarin oranges that transitions to light spearmint, cloves, ginger and mild black tea with medium ethanol burn. The finish is short with sautéed cinnamon apples, butterscotch candy, caramelized peaches, light spearmint, black pepper and mild black tea. I’m actually very impressed with how well this tastes for just being two years old and I think this could easily beat some of the five to six year old bourbons I’ve tried over the years. It’s nothing show stopping but a well-balanced easy sipping bourbon that I’d really like to try again at five to six years old to see how the age has impacted the flavors. At a price of $85, I think this is a priced a bit too high and could shed the fancy packaging to allow for a more reasonable price of around the $50 mark which is where I think this deserves to be at. Thanks @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington for the generous sample.
