Nose
Rich and complex with leather, good amount of spice, caramel, ripe floral notes like dried rose petals, oak, a little minty freshness, and dark ripened fruit that is not fresh but stewed.
Palate
A bit sweeter than the nose suggested, with stewed/ripened fruit that provides a jam-like fruity sweetness, spice more prominent on the sides of the tongue, vanilla, caramel, super dark chocolate, leather without being dry, very mouth-coating and oily with a creamy texture, and well-balanced across the palate.
Finish
One of the longest finishes, lengthy and pleasurable, with lingering sweetness that continues to build and reveal new layers over time.
Overall Score
4.8 / 5
A fantastic, complex bourbon with a velvety texture, evolving palate, and exceptionally long finish that ranks among the best bourbons the hosts have ever experienced.
