Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, apples and some graham cracker. Palate: Lots of cinnamon red hots and some sweet clove notes. Finish: Medium heat, but the finish just goes on and on. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 8/10 - This has classic bourbon written all over it. Would stand up nicely to some ice or vermouth. The finish just won't quit.
