Bright Copper/Amber in Color Aroma of bright berries, raspberry or strawberry. Really wonderful aroma. Berries in the flavor again. I keep switching between the raspberry and strawberry and as I work through the glass the strawberry with some cinnamon comes forward. Oak is present but nicely in the back row to provide depth. Alcohol makes itself known, but warming and cozy vs "hot". Some brown sugar melted in butter notes. Twice I got marzipan.. Last sip was really of a wonderful strawberry preserve. Long Kentucky hug on the finish here. Really nice finish. Just shy of Birthday Bourbon for me, but really nice. (like better than any Pappy I've had)
