Nose
Brown sugar and cinnamon with dark cherries, dried fruit, walnut, and rickhouse character. Beautiful complexity with butterscotch and maple syrup notes. Spice and proof present on the nose.
Palate
Bold raw sugar sweetness on entry with pronounced rye spice and black pepper. Very hot with a Kentucky hug that punches the palate. Tobacco leaf emerges on the back end. Mid-palate sits prominently with good spice and complexity.
Finish
Long finish with spice, tobacco, and fruit. Lingering heat and proof with a firm aftertaste that begs another sip.
Remarkable
A complex, high-proof bourbon with excellent layering of spice, fruit, and oak that delivers a powerful yet balanced Kentucky experience.
