Nose: orchard fruits, nutmeg, candy corn, and a wood note that ain’t oak; it’s more like tree sap. Can get all up in there and whiff without singeing the nostrils, so points for that.
On the palate big, juicy, fruit flavors. They are so well blended that when I try to pick the individual fruits out it becomes difficult but getting white grape, apple, pear, and strawberry. You know what this is? Fruit punch in bourbon form. Oak and some caramel brittle come in at the mid-palate, bringing balance. Finish is hard to describe; the flavor doesn’t change much, it just gets hotter. Not a bad thing by any means.
Mouthfeel is oily and medium thickness.
This is by far the fruitiest bourbon I have ever had, and it’s a delight. Very different from everything else in my cabinet. At the $54 I paid and clocking in at a solid 104 proof, it’s a winner for sure. If you like fruity bourbons or just want something off the beaten path, this could be your jam.
