Nose
Baking spices, savory notes reminiscent of grandma's kitchen at Christmas time with clove and cinnamon, subtle nutmeg, warehouse notes with fruit and funk characteristics
Palate
Velvety, buttery texture with significant mouthfeel, warming spice that is subtle rather than aggressive, spice-forward profile with those baking spice characteristics continuing
Finish
Clean and smooth with lingering spice, not hanging around tannic or astringent, allows the spice to linger gently without overpowering
Outstanding
A beautifully balanced wood-finished bourbon that showcases exceptional texture and subtle spice integration, earning recognition as Bourbon of the Year with its harmonious combination of mouthfeel and flavor.
