This bourbon is fantastic. The nose gives notes of pepper, toffee, and butterscotch. The initial taste is quite hot, but mellows into a very strong spice with pepper, butterscotch, oak, and leather. The finish builds nicely, and the butterscotch fades and leaves toffee in its wake as the leather comes forward. Oddly enough, the more you have the profile completely shifts, with heavy oak and leather on the palate and a sweeter finish. Excellent. Batch 1666 Bittled December 18, 2022
