Nose
Imposing oak barrel notes with nuttiness, cherry notes, and oakiness characteristic of the 15-year aging period. Not overpowering with barrel influence.
Palate
Chocolate-forward with Dr. Pepper spiciness and sweetness, campfire and s'more notes with charred marshmallow and fresh-baked graham cracker qualities. Thick mouthfeel allowing for chewing. Spice, nuts, and subtle cherry notes throughout. Kentucky hug with a very nice back despite 117 proof. Long finish with drier chocolate and allspice notes.
Finish
Long and lingering with continued chocolate, spice, and nutty character. Charred marshmallow and fresh-baked graham cracker notes persist without excessive dryness or over-oakiness.
Really good
A surprisingly well-balanced 15-year bourbon that tells a compelling story of its barrel age without being overwhelmed by oak, delivering rich chocolate, campfire, and spice notes with a impressive finish.
