Nose
Creamy caramel with a nice smokiness characteristic of aged bourbon; no harsh ethanol bite despite the proof.
Palate
Creamy and viscous with nice sweetness on the front of the palate; spices show up on the back with good balance and depth.
Finish
Slightly dry on the back end in a pleasant, cigar-like way; shows wonderful age that only comes from extended wood maturation.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A beautifully balanced 14-year-old single barrel that displays complexity and richness without harsh alcohol burn.
