Nose is sweet, rich and refined. Ethanol is gentle for the proof. I described it as “thick sweetness” because that’s the best descriptor I could come up with, and it’s fun to say. Vanilla, fruit, spice. Palette of honey, cherry, a tad bit of pepper and spices. The barrel is there but is not overwhelming considering the age. Everything I like about Jr. in a more refined package. Finish goes forever. A little hit of citrus makes it feel surprisingly refreshing.
