Nose

Butterscotch foundation, warehouse must indicating age, raisin, plum, and fig aromatics, musty aged bourbon character

Palate

Raisin, plum, fig, molasses, fennel seed and anise notes, barrel tannins with dryness in back of mouth, corniness essentially gone, complex mid-palate fruit character, smooth despite high proof

Finish

Drying with subtle barrel influence, anise and fennel seed notes, minimal burn or harshness, longer finish with integrated complexity

Top notch
A remarkable four-year bottled-in-bond bourbon that displays mature fruit complexity and smooth barrel integration despite elevated proof.
