Nose
Oak presence with aged, leathery tobacco notes. Saddle leather and boot leather character. Hints of cherry with an almondy, nutty quality. Minimal floral or sugar notes.
Palate
Light sweetness on the front end transitioning to chocolate and nuttiness. Belgian waffle with maple syrup character. Almond and peanut notes. Medium to long finish with dryness on the back of the palate but not excessive. Sweetness lingers on the palate.
Finish
Medium to long finish with dryness on the back end. Sweet finish that persists on the palate.
Above average
A well-crafted, affordable eight-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon with solid oak and nut character that drinks older than its price point suggests.
