Nose
Something familiar about it; bold
Palate
Thick; very caramel oak rich; dark notes; rounds the corner on the mid-palate rather than shooting straight across; warehouse/aged oak influence; dark fruit on the front end
Finish
Sticks around but not peppery; smooth; lasting finish
Noteworthy
A well-aged, boldly flavored sipping whiskey with rich caramel and oak character that presents itself fully on the first sip and rewards contemplation by the fireplace.
