Very rich in the nose and on the palette. Sweet, with brown sugar, cherry, vanilla, and oak present. Warm, lingering finish, with a hint of milk chocolate appearing. Remains sweet on the lips long afterward. The folks at the Fort Nelson Distillery couldn’t sell me any rye bottles, and only let me have this barrel-strength bourbon ($119) if I bought it as a set with the regular bourbon ($55) I can get back home.
