Bourbon
Heaven Hill
Nose
Maple flavor fills the room upon opening; once poured into glass, becomes less overpowering with a cognac-y feel from the French oak
Palate
Immediate maple sweetness upfront from the maple influence and wood sugars; cognac-y character from French oak takes off some of the roughness of the original; elevated flavor profile; sweetness pops out
Finish
The finish is expected to develop more complexity as the oak continues to integrate over additional time
Top notch
A dramatically elevated expression of Evan Williams that showcases the immediate and impressive impact of secondary oak finishing with maple enhancement.
