Nose
Well-aged bourbon with complexity; apple brandy influence present but respectful.
Palate
Classic bourbon character shines through; rye-forward mashbill provides structure; apple brandy finish rounds sharper edges without overpowering.
Finish
Elongated and smooth; apple brandy finish softens the grain spirit with added length and complexity.
Really good
A well-crafted bourbon that respects its base spirit while adding a subtle and thoughtful secondary finish from apple brandy barrels.
