Nose- creamy vanilla, orange soda, black pepper, rich oak throughout, tobacco Palate- smoke and charred oak, spices, roasted nuts, orange, and corn on the cob Finish- Spicy undertones with hints of oak and tobacco Bold and in your face, and anything but sweet. This is a fantastic bourbon that hides its proof on both the nose and finish. Nicely balanced and just what you would expect from an 11 year single barrel bourbon from Parkers.
