Nose... Ice cream sundae with chocolate, caramel and nuts.. Butterscotch and finally green apples... Color...Mid to dark copper Taste... Sweet corn followed by a strong bite of rye. A touch of leather and butterscotch are apparent as well... Overall... I really think that they've come up with a fantastic fusion of old and new in this bottle. The matured 11 year Kentucky very much balances the young and biting 2 year blends. This is one heck of a solid whiskey, well done and hats off....
