Medium amber in the glass. Legs start quickly but linger. Moderate viscosity. A mild nose. Vanilla with a hint of peanut. Traditional bourbon smell, especially HH products. Starts sweet. Green apple, peanut, a touch of char, nice splash of mint and proof spice on the edges of the tongue and then building through the long finish. Lingering cinnamon, cedar, and minty iodine. Impressive, bold, balanced, and nuanced for the price point. Plenty of character without ever being rough. Would stand up beautifully in a spirit-forward cocktail. A lost gem - we’ll see what its 7-year replacement is and costs soon!
