Third bourbon ever tried (EW black, WT 101). Resplendent golden color presentation. Floral oak and slight pear on the nose. Good texture on swirling in glass as slight syrup sticks. Pear, definite apricot upon taste and is that a hint of orange as well? Rye makes presence known upon rear sides of tongue at point of "Kentucky chewing." Apricot aftertaste most welcome.
