Served: small pour with a dash of water to bring out flavors. Notes: Sweet red apples show as soon as it hits the tongue. This turns into a solid mouth of licorice and cherry/orchard fruits finished with vanilla oak. Comments: This batch & bourbon is very subtle and the notes are not too prominent, but if you are looking for a licorice and sweet vanilla apple tasting bourbon, this is it. It’s not that it’s bad, there’s just nothing astounding to write home about.
