74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose
Rich dark cherry and maraschino cherry notes with buttery pie crust, leather, and wet cherry wood; subtle ginger and butterscotch undertones.
Palate
Dry with prominent ginger and cinnamon spice from the rye; oak tannins similar to a dry red wine; only subtle honey and sweetness; the rye character comes through clearly.
Finish
Medium finish with lingering ginger and cinnamon spice; bitterness and oak tannins persist; finish reaches the neck level but doesn't extend deeply into the chest.
Overall Score
3.6 / 5
A respectable 14-year-old Kentucky bourbon with a cherry-forward nose and spicy, dry palate that offers an interesting older bourbon pour suitable for gifting or sparking conversation at the bar.
