Nose- cherry comes through strongly and blends with molasses notes to give away pervasive cherry Pepsi notes (love it!)
Body- nicely sweet upfront t and then gives way to a tart cherry and then finishes with a dark chocolate malt
Finish- Bitter sourness gives way to woody tannins that are reminiscent of sassafras. This finish stays with you. It is one of the richest bourbons I have had and truly an experience which is in line with the darkness of the bourbon. This is like a rich desert bourbon that is definitely for sipping.
Thanks for sharing Milliardo.

But was it IN FACT distilled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller plant at the hands of Julian Van Winkle, vatted in the 90s and shipped to California for... *reasons*... and then released in 2019 for *more reasons*???
