Pumpkin spice move over, this is the new scent of autumn. A remarkably complex and spice forward nose. The Amburana cask does its work well here, adding a festive scent to the bourbon. Flavorwise, the wood adds a nutty, tropical sweetness, making it in some ways akin to a spiced rum in character. The towering proof keeps the package tight and brings out some of the high esters that might be lost in a lower proofed expression. With a long finish, ending on a cinnamon note, this release pleases from start to finish.
