Appearance:Very dark brown, way dater Tham most 3 yr bourbon. Alabama must age like Texas. Noise; caramel, toffee Palate:Sweet, caramel Finish; huh proof heat, vegetal finish. I'm a fan. If you like Balcones Bourbon give this a try. Best field to bottle Alabama Bourbon to be had. A bit of water makes the heat go away but dulls the other flavors.
