Nose
Oak barrel with peanut and nut notes, cherry, some spice, imposing but not overwhelming.
Palate
Chocolate, Dr. Pepper spiciness and sweetness, s'more character with charred marshmallow, toasted graham cracker, and nuts. Thicker mouthfeel appropriate to the proof with a long finish. Spice and cherry notes persist. Can be chewed and contemplated.
Finish
Long, lingering campfire and s'more notes with drier chocolate, well-toasted marshmallow, and fresh-baked graham cracker spice. Kentucky hug with pronounced oak influence but not overly dry.
Overall Score
4.4 / 5
A surprisingly well-blended 15-year bourbon that respects its age with full proof and tells a compelling barrel-aged story without becoming overly oaky or one-dimensional.
