Nose
Rich brown sugar and vanilla with cherry and banana notes; sweet and intense with a little rye spice in the background.
Palate
Nice texture for 100 proof with tightening sensation on the mid-palate; hints of cherry; a little greener, unripened banana character; fair amount of heat in the middle that lets you know it's present.
Finish
Medium finish with a little dripping sensation; drying quality that squeezes out saliva.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
An exceptional bonded whiskey with excellent flavor concentration and texture that offers great value for an eight-year-old expression.
