Aroma: Oaky Vanilla, Caramel, & Cherry Flavor: Caramel apple, Vanilla, oaky, & dried dark cherries. Body: Smooth, medium-heavy, & syrupy. Aftertaste: Charred oak, bakers chocolate, sweet corn and ground ginger. The nose on this bourbon was strong and sticky sweet! Slight burn up front, but eased off and let the complexity take over on this 12yr old wheated bourbon. Started with some acidity like apple and cherry coming through. Long lasting aftertaste sticks to the tongue.
