Nose
Warm kettle corn and buttery toffee; candied nuts reminiscent of street-roasted almonds; caramel sweetness; gentle heat for the proof.
Palate
Velvet coating on the tongue; candy-coated sweetness with bright honeycomb and honey character rather than darker maple; cinnamon candy notes; complex middle with multiple layers that build across successive sips.
Finish
Initially shorter but compounds and extends with subsequent sips, developing honeycomb and candy sweetness; warm and lingering after multiple tastes.
Impressive
An impressive, velvet-smooth barrel-proof bourbon that delivers exceptional complexity and sweetness without tasting hot, representing excellent value at its price point.
