Nose
Caramelized sugars, vanilla, and oak dominate. Dark amber color with excellent legs suggesting an unfiltered character.
Palate
Black pepper spice arrives on the very front of the palate and lingers on the tip of the tongue. Baking spices, cinnamon, and vanilla notes develop through the mid-palate with a coating mouthfeel throughout.
Finish
Long and complex with a burst of citrus and caramel, orange zest, and lingering pepper.
Impressive
A well-rounded, complex bourbon with impressive spice-forward character and a persistent, satisfying finish.
