Nose: Delicate spiced fruits, think apricot or peaches, with a hint of cocoa and cinnamon, hint of vanilla, smells like a wonderful pie filling before baking, exceptional nose Palate: delicate fruit and spice, with more cinnamon and cocoa, slight mint to chocolate mint (like the herb not like a York patty), with vanilla, just plain delicious Finish: Long finish with more chocolate mint (again the herb), with vanilla Bourbons do not get much better than this. Given the price point and availability it is nice to be able to sip on this with regularity without the fear of not being able to find it. It is such a rich and balanced taste that it still feels special when you are drinking it. Simply superb! Well done Four Roses!
