Nose: Medium oak and barrel tannins. It’s rounded off by a flavor I didn’t think was possible in a whiskey. A cherry/cream sent that is oddly reminiscent of a cheery cream slushy from the Sonic fast food restaurant. So strange but it’s pleasant. Back end has some dry nuttiness.
Taste: Very spicy off the beginning. Decently high on Rye in the mash bill so not surprising. Spice mellows put into brown sugar and fresh dark cherries and red apples. Finish is long and oily resulting in a minty freshness followed by dark chocolate.
All in all, I was impressed. Very good well rounded bourbon with some interesting fragrances. but honestly at $45, I probably won’t be coming back to this one. The pallet doesn’t really take me anywhere I haven’t been before . I’ve found cheaper or matching bourbons I like much more.
