Nose
Caramel and burnt chocolate with fig preserves and black charred marshmallow notes; toasted oak-forward with dark fruit character.
Palate
Initial wave of sweetness from toasted wood sugars followed by rye spice and charred rye toast character; buttery mouthfeel with fig and Turkish fig preserve notes; mid-palate shows bitter dark chocolate and baking chocolate notes with a touch of youth peeking through.
Finish
Medium finish with pepper and a hint of heat; some bitterness carries through from the chocolate notes.
Pleasant
A well-layered craft bourbon with distinctive toasted oak character that shows promise and complexity despite some youthful notes suggesting it may benefit from additional aging.
