Nose
A bit grapey with a dusty nose, very dark chocolate brown color with nice oak influence and a butterscotch-y feel.
Palate
Great mouthfeel with a little bit of a bite on the back of the palate, eight years old with a good presence.
Finish
Pretty drying on the back end.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A 1970s export-only dusty with impressive color and character that shows the complexity of older bourbon components.
