Aroma - holy crap. Apples pie, cinnamon sticks, apple cider, snickerdoodle cookies and Christmas gingerbread house.…. This is Fall in a glass. . If Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Apple Cinnamon Cheerios conceived a child, it would smell like this. There is no presence of alcohol whatsoever. Tremendous nose but this smells extremely sweet so I’m a little nervous heading into the palate. This is one outstanding aroma. Taste - Everything from the nose transfers to the palate. Apples, cinnamon toast crunch, Fall spices. Vanilla and huge blast of alcohol that takes all those sweet notes and brings balance. Overall - I’m a fan of BCS.. and this one is absolutely phenomenal. The finish on this is probably one of the longest I’ve ever experienced in a whiskey. The ABV is absolutely perfect for my palate. This offering might not be for everyone.. this one is bold and in your face. I can see a lot of bourbon fans frowning upon this where a lot of finished whiskey fans would go bonkers for it. 5.0
