I had to give this one a go; not everyone shares a name with a well-regarded bourbon, after all! The signs of aging are writ large on the nose - there's not nearly as much bourbon corn and caramel as in a younger whiskey, and in their place I find orange zest, spices, and old leather Bible cover (I'm a pastor, what can I say). The palate cleaves close to the nose - leathery and spiced with orange peel and a bit of buttery caramel. It's a smidgeon hot, but that doesn't get in the way...besides, it tastes like Christmas, which is OK by me, especially on a gloomy late January day in Chicago. A really lovely dram.
