Nose: Fruity and floral with apricot, strawberries and cherries. Cinnamon and brown sugar dusted apple Danish. There's just enough spicy but fragrant oak to give the nose good structure. [The dry glass aroma is all brown sugar and spicy oak].
Palate: The entry is spicy but not hot, and quickly softens in the development. It's a friendly but well-defined arrival with dill, clove and caraway flavours and the development has real progression with little wavelets of spice rolling through it. Vanilla, berries, some ashy treacle and a little licorice appear as it evolves. The texture is good - reasonably full but there is a very light astringent touch that I like a lot.
Finish: Medium/short. The spicy oak notes are the last to fade and there is a mild minty/menthol note and some oily dill from the rye component that lasts into the aftertaste.
I quite enjoyed this bourbon but sadly my sample bottle had leaked and there was only about 10 ml left to taste, so I had to really search for aromas and could not taste it with water.
There is supposed to be an allocation coming to Australia soon but the anticipated price is $199 and I'm not paying that much. I would pay around $100, but no more.
Thanks to @Soba45 for the tasting sample.
