Nose: Brown sugar, barrel, char. Peach, apricots, figs, plums. Cherries. Deep and rich but not cloying. Vanilla. Slight mustiness. Toasted cereal grains. The milk left behind after a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, honey, oak, tannin. Strawberries, plums, peaches, apricots, figs. Again, not cloying, but definitely deep. Milk chocolate. Almost lactic tang. Finish starts off with berries, bananas, honey, and cream - getting a parfait vibe here. The berries and bananas give way to whipped cream with added sugar and vanilla. Things slowly fade away into a pleasant fruity character. Other notes: Another bottle that might not be the most complex, but what's on offer here is certainly interesting enough to keep your attention for a glass or three if you want. I regularly cite this as an excellent place to start to develop your palate a little more. Also a great bottle - especially when tasted alongside Buffalo Trace and/or Stagg Jr. - to showcase how much influence the barrel has on the final character of a whiskey.
