Banana, charcoal, Burnt Cedar, Flan dessert, and bubblegum on the nose. Pleasant. A little ethanol sneaks in as well.
Barrel spices, apple, vanilla, leather, ash, and sandalwood on the palate. Not a lot in the mid-palate at all, rushes right to the finish.
Finish blasts with a prickly ethanol heat that obscures all other flavors for a second or two before settling into a nutty and chocolatey after finish. That after finish is by far the best part of this bourbon, and is decently long. Mouthfeel is oily and matches the flavor profile well.
Sharp and biting, but there are some decent flavors In here. I wanted to like this more than I actually did, but ultimately the young component to this blend rears it’s head a little too prominently. At $36, the price is right and you get what you pay for but certainly nothing more.
