Nose- Heavy charred oak, honeyed bread, sweet caramel, banana, rosemary, dill, baking spices
Palate- dry oak, dill, rye spices, cocoa powder, caramelized sugar, apples, vanilla
Finish- Long, oily finish with notes of Toasted oak, baking spices, and sweet fruits
Big, bold, and beautiful. Fantastic bourbon. The nose is complex and gets better with time, with a perfect balance of sweet, spice, and oak. The palate is very similar to the nose, perfectly balanced. The sweetness and rye spices compliment eachother well, and getting a lovely apple note as well. The finish is, as expected, extremely long and enjoyable.
