I quite like this one. Theres a bit more burn than you'd expect from a 90 proof. It can come off a bit much at first, but theres some good flavors going on.
Dark cherry, spice and dark caramel on the nose. Good but nothing incredible really. Again, quite a bit of burn there. But the flavors really grew on me.
It became more apparent of a raspberry jam note on the palate over time. Theres some nice dark fruit notes there which the spice does well with. Oak is pretty heavy but not to an extreme level. The oak goes really well with the flavors along side it. Theres a some butterscotch, slight coffee note.
It finishes heavily on vanilla which lingers along with the spice. That vanilla is a nice finishing touch after the dark fruit.
I could see this being a love or hate kind of bourbon. For me the oak and dark fruit notes work really well together along with the spice.
