The nose is the most classic bourbon nose I think I’ve ever smelt. It’s brown sugar and toasted caramel and cinnamon and fresh leather with a wisp of smoke. It tastes like it has some proof to it, but with a ton of flavor and complexity. Worn leather and a bit of must like I’m standing in a rickhouse. There’s a backbone of caramelized sugars and the smoke left over from putting a candle out. A tiny bit of spice on the front does not linger past the throat, and it finishes shockingly smooth. Medium long flavor on the finish with most of the smoke and leather shining through. This is a perfect example of what bourbon should be. Really love this.
