Nose
Imposing oak barrel notes with nuttiness, peanut notes, cherry, and oakiness characteristic of the 15-year age statement. Not overly oaky despite the extended aging.
Palate
Chocolate and Dr. Pepper spiciness with sweetness. S'mores character with drier chocolate, thoroughly charred marshmallow, and fresh-baked graham cracker notes. Spice and nuts come through. Thick and chewy texture at 117.9 proof. Persistent Kentucky hug without being overly dry. Long finish with continued notes of nuts, spice, chocolate, and cherry.
Finish
Very long finish with continued chocolate, cherry, spice, and nutty notes. Can be chewed on due to the proof and texture. Persistent and warming without excessive oak dryness.
Very good
A well-executed 15-year-old bourbon with impressive balance despite its age and proof, featuring campfire and s'mores character that tells the story of its barrel time without becoming overwrought.
