Fall 2015 Bottling
Nose: butterscotch, brown sugar, caramel are present. Its more on the young, fresh, and citrus side of bourbon. Swirling with a Glencairn glass cap reveals notes of freshly sanded lumber. Some floral notes with cinnamon in the background as well.
Palate: mouthfeel is wonderful. I’ve compared it to several bourbons at its price point and it is remarkably superior due to non-chill filtration. Brown sugar, vanilla, oak, and caramel. Cinnamon and rye spice is present during the development, but it’s not overly spicy. Getting some mint after several tastes. Oak on the finish with a little bit of burnt caramel and mint. Bonus points for proof, labeling transparency, and bottled-in-bond quality. Very solid table bourbon.
