75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Turkey nose character with toffee, dark pitted cherries, plum, raisin, vanilla, cocoa, and honey tea notes
Palate
Full of flavor with mid-palette presence, caramel, spice, sweetness like Hershey chocolate bar with cinnamon, Kentucky hug of spice, deep oak, smokiness, clove, and baking spices reminiscent of crystal-sugared gumdrops with cinnamon and orange spice
Finish
Long and complex finish with multiple layers, spicy with oak presence, honey tea character, not drying but rather making the mouth water, lingering spice from both rye and barrel
Excellent
An exceptionally well-blended 13-year-old bourbon with impressive complexity, sweetness, and balance that represents a compelling value at its price point.
