Nose: maple syrup, butterscotch, candy corn, a little oak and hints of raisins and cherries Palate: rich, vanilla spices, citrus and toffee Finish: medium to full body... excellent balance of flavor and bite This stands up to the E. H. Taylor Single Barrel in richness, drinkability and complexity. It will vary from release to release but this shows you how fantastic EC was at its old 12-year age statement before the bourbon boom.
