Nose
Prominent caramel and vanilla (Mexican vanilla), toasted marshmallow, subtle hickory smoke, minty notes, oaky character
Palate
Butterscotch (antique butterscotch quality), light body with a hug to it, slight sizzle on the tongue with a hint of pop rocks, cinnamon toothpicks, woodiness paired with cinnamon, subtle smoke in the background
Finish
Short to medium finish, doesn't linger long on the palate, clean exit
Above average
A smooth, uniquely crafted bourbon with subtle hickory smoke that delivers a campfire-like aroma without overwhelming the drinker, making it an excellent choice for those seeking something different that isn't overly bold.
