Nose
Subtle honey notes with a hint of maple syrup sweetness.
Palate
Initial sweetness from honey ale barrel influence; a touch of tobacco complexity; finishes drier than expected with good viscosity and bite.
Finish
Dry on the back palate with a subtle tobacco undertone; not overly sweet despite the honey ale barrel.
Very good
A nuanced honey-finished bourbon that balances initial sweetness with a dry, tobacco-tinged finish and maintains good structure and drinkability.
