Nose
Cherry-forward with cherry twizzlers and cherry tobacco notes; floral and potpourri elements; oaky and tobaccoy undertones; earthy and grounded quality; leather notes emerge on second nose after palate exposure.
Palate
Intense initial heat and spice (described as a 'buffalo running down the chest'); viscous and creamy mouthcoat despite proof; cherry juice character; citrus hints; pop rocks sensation; medium to long finish.
Finish
Warming effect through throat and chest; lingering oak, tobacco, and leather; viscous coating; medium to long length.
Really good
A powerful, aggressive cask-strength wheated bourbon with rich cherry and tobacco notes that demands respect and rewards patient sipping.
