Body: It just grabs the glass and doesn’t let go. The viscosity paired with the reddish-brown color let’s you know immediately that it’s uncut.
Nose: Brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and citrus. I also caught a waft of pumpkin. Very inviting.
Palate: It has bite with strong alcohol up front. But it’s buttery, peppery, and a melting salted caramel. There is just a small pinch of citrus and oat sweet oat cereal on the back. This was a one ounce pour, and adding two drops of distilled water brings out a flavor of scratch biscuits and toffee.
Finish: Smokey, full city roast black coffee, cinnamon, and pastry crust. The smoke takes over quickly in an enjoyable way.
Overall: I loved this and I’ll be hunting for it for my collection. It’s a complex enough bourbon to keep me interested.
