Nose
Airy and aromatic with hints of pine nuts, roasted notes, honeycomb, and apricot tonality. Light, subtle, and nuanced with orange peel acidity.
Palate
Creamy and buttery with accessible cashew, almond, and pine nut flavors. Pop rocks sensation on the back of the palate. Honey roasted peanuts present.
Finish
Long and lingering spice that sticks around with a salsa-like quality. Drips down the jawline with sustained heat.
Top notch
A beautifully layered and nuanced bourbon with impressive creaminess and spice that drinks considerably bolder than its proof suggests.
