Look: Amber colored, slight lacing, and quite pretty alcohol legs Nose: cinnamon, clove, tobacco, some sweet brown sugar, vanilla, wood. This bourbon smells like bourbon, but more so. Really potent, in a good way. Taste: More woody astringent characters than the nose would give you, followed by the sweet baked goods, and a heavy dose of pepper and cinnamon to end it as well as red apple and slight banana notes. Finish: the finish is quite hot and spicy, with a lingering heat on my tongue, and flavor that lasts a few minutes. Sometimes, I get a higher bitterness in the finish, and I’m glad this bourbon is not like that. Overall: this bourbon is excellent, a complete surprise to me as I’d never heard of this spirit, and I got it from a coworker. All the flavors are there for a good bourbon, with not many of those bitter notes in the finish.
