$65
78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye
Nose
Deep oak with walnut and chocolate notes; bake shop aromas with hints of raisin and sweetness; tobacco and older oak presence on the back end; alcohol present but not overpowering; mahogany color
Palate
Buttery entry without immediate sting; fudge brownie with walnuts; dark chocolatey taste with slight bitterness; cinnamon gummy bear notes; baking spices and allspice throughout; Christmas spice character
Finish
Long, lingering finish that sticks with you; deep Kentucky hug; warming heat that builds gradually; extends well with continuing spice and oak presence
Very good
A well-crafted 12-year-old bourbon with rich baking spice character and a long, warming finish that makes it an excellent choice for winter sipping at a fair retail price.
