94 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Heaven Hill Distillery
$50–$55
Nose
Sweet with caramel and raisin-plum notes, aromatic and inviting.
Palate
Brown sugar and caramel forward, toasted oak with cinnamon spice, reminiscent of dessert bourbons like chocolate or pie accompaniments.
Finish
Not tremendously long but flavorful with mature oak and new oak character.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A dessert-forward bourbon that leverages the toasted barrel finish to deliver rich caramel and sweetness without becoming cloying.
