Nose
Caramel and vanilla with a mineral, chalky quality; a slightly copper or penny-like note; some oak present with youthful ethanol character; lacks the corny sweetness typical of younger bourbons.
Palate
Corn sweetness forward; vanilla present; burnt caramel notes; copper or kettle-corn quality mid-palate; unripe or sour cherry character emerges with air; mineral minerality continues throughout.
Finish
Clean finish with youthful presence; some developing complexity as the whiskey opens up in the glass.
Overall Score
3.6 / 5
An interesting and unusual younger bourbon that rewards analysis and offers a rewarding exploration in flavor despite its youth, though additional barrel time might round out its sharper edges.
