On the nose almonds, rye, sweet corn, chocolate and black pepper wake you up. Upon tasting, it has a bit of a dusty start. Raisins, fruity wine, slight peanuts and potpourri round out a nice floral-y palate before going down. After swallowing, toasty oak notes, sweet nuttiness (walnuts), leather and tobacco surface. The finish hangs around with an oily mouthfeel while not stinging your tongue. This is an enjoyable discussion bourbon for sure.
