N: Red wine notes are immediate and intense, cherry and strawberry, corn, vanilla, caramel covered cherries, dusty books, what I imagine a grain elevator smells like, surprisingly minimal ethanol notes. Really nice. P: Bourbon corn, cherry cola, vanilla, caramel, sweet, spicy, barrel, earth, oak, mint, tiny hit of black tea, lots of power, big boozy bite, cherry cough syrup. F: Cherry, oak, ethanol, barrel spice, lots of heat, mint, black tea bitterness, long lasting cinnamon candy, menthol cigarette. Lasts seemingly forever. Excellent bourbon. The wine cask finish adds tons of heady, boozy fruit to an already nice Texas bourbon profile. The proof is powerful, but this can still be sipped straight. While some of the more traditionally aged bourbons are more complex, this is lovely, fairly priced, and readily available (for now anyway - who knows how much was made or remains available). Well worth getting a taste if you can. _______________________ Please come join an unofficial Distiller community on Discord (now one whole year old!): https://discord.gg/4nfePCdyKM.
