Nose
Deeply oaked and nutty character with brown sugar, leather, and sweet oak notes. Most prevalent oak nose of its peers, but doesn't burn the nostrils.
Palate
Intense concentration of flavor with toffee, amaretto (almond extract), peanut shell, and dark caramel. Rich and complex coating the tongue with multiple layers of flavor.
Finish
Long, warming finish with lingering toffee and almond notes.
Excellent
A powerfully concentrated barrel-proof bourbon with mature oak integration and a sophisticated interplay of toffee, almond, and caramel that lingers impressively.
