Look: Burnt dark orange, with plenty of lacing on the glass. Nose: The nose is really strong on this one, almost exclusively vanilla. Taste: The vanilla is there, but there’s much more oak and barrel coming through than the nose would make you think. Some cinnamon pops up as well. Finish: There is a good amount of heat on this bourbon, with a hot finish and lingering wood notes. Butter tannins really come through Overall: By no means a bad whiskey, but not my favorite offering. If you love vanilla and oak, this is for you.
