Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Nose- brown sugar, banana, bright citrus, warm baking spices, honey, toasted oak
Palate- wave of spiced vanilla and butterscotch, brown sugar, chocolate covered peanuts, honey, toasted oak.
Finish- Long, buttery finish of burnt sugar, peanuts and oak
The nose on this is enjoyable, but very light. It’s not a bold nose, but has many bright notes. The palate on the other hand, is fantastic. Big, bold and in your face with butterscotch and spiced vanilla jumping out. Long and enjoyable finish. I came into this thinking it was overhyped. The palate on this lived up to all the hubbub. Blows the 12 year old “Lot B” out of the water.
