Nose
Prominent malt character bringing darkness and depth to the expression.
Palate
Soft, big, and dark all at once. Butterscotch notes present. Drinks softer than proof suggests despite being uncut and unproofed.
Finish
Drying finish with lingering butterscotch and oak.
Above average
A paradoxical barrel-proof bourbon that delivers softness alongside dark malt and butterscotch character, defying its proof with a gentle yet complex hand.
