Nose: Caramel apple, vanilla, cherries, peaches, banana. Orange blossom and honeysuckle. Roasted peanuts. Dusty corn. Thyme, basil. Black pepper. Oak. Almost bright pineapple. Mangoes. You definitely get a big, clean nose off this. Not cloying or overly dry. Classic bourbon.
Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, oak, char. Barrel bitter. Fruity and floral - orange blossoms come to mind again. Bananas, apricots, fuyu persimmons. Tannin. Medium-light mouthfeel with just enough oil to keep things around for a while. Finish starts with a flash of sweet potpourri, then falls into a less sharp floral and herbaceous direction. Vanilla, banana, and sweet mandarins then come forward. Everything then falls down into a sparkly, charred oak note.
