$55–$65
Nose
Sweet cherry, caramel, oak, with darker notes of raisins and a fruit-forward sweetness without being overly sweet.
Palate
Honey, caramel goodness with prominent vanilla and oak. Picks up wood sugars and dark caramel from the second barrel finish. Syrupy texture with charred oak punch. Not overly peppery.
Finish
Oak and tannins linger pleasantly without excessive dryness; medium length.
Really good
A well-crafted double-barreled bourbon with rich caramel and oak character that drinks warmer and smoother than its proof suggests, offering good value in the $55–$65 range.
