75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Darker fruit-focused with plum, raisin, oak, and leather notes. More focused and refined than fruity compote.
Palate
Pronounced oak character with spice, dryness, raisins, caramel, and a hint of brown sugar. Rye-forward with minty, refreshing qualities from the spice and barrel influence. Powerful oak presence that softens and opens up after sitting in the glass. Begs for additional sips with lingering warmth.
Finish
Long finish that lingers and invites continued drinking.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A bold, spice-forward extra-aged bourbon with commanding oak presence and a long finish that rewards patience and repeated sips, making it an excellent fall sipper.
