22: The nose is robust with some varied fruit, sort of like Cognac is playing games. There's a woody element that's rich in the background. Spice, vanilla, caramel: this nose has a lot going on and it varies constantly! The palate is likewise very interesting. This is a huge refinement on the Corsair Quinoa that is super interesting with tons of subtle layers of fruit that don't make it taste excessively sweet and blend terrifically with the rich woody backing. This isn't the richest and heartiest bourbon, but it's delicious like a rich XO Cognac mixed with bourbon. I just can't get over all of the layers here. There's a ton of fruit and some spice and a hint of rye, but there's still some really nice wood and spice with a sweet coating of vanilla. The balance is somehow impeccable and it's truly delightful. Corsair has really nailed it with the bourbon, innovating and pushing the boundaries of what a bourbon can be while balancing numerous layers of very good flavor. This is a really special bourbon. I'd like it to be a little richer, but it really is rich and the flavors fit well together. It compares favorably with Wild Turkey Whiskey Jewbillee. It's actually pretty floral at points, but not in that gross, bitter Irish whiskey way.
