Palate
Caramel sweetness reminiscent of caramel dip, with pronounced cinnamon and nutmeg spices in the middle palate; butterscotch note transitions from mid-palate through finish.
Finish
Nice hug with butterscotch and cinnamon notes balanced by caramel sweetness; low-proof but warming finish without harsh bite.
Excellent
An exceptional example of Old Crow from its heyday, offering bold caramel, baking spice, and butterscotch with no dusty off-notes and superior oiliness and viscosity compared to modern bottlings.
