Nose
Sweet caramel and red fruit with cherry and raisin notes. Rich tobacco, cinnamon, oak, and leather create a well-developed nose without excessive alcohol heat.
Palate
Nutty with cherry juice, little sweet upfront transitioning to dry spice. Oak-forward with a duality between dark and light fruits. Lacks significant mid-palate presence.
Finish
Medium finish with bitter oak that softens and dissipates as the glass opens. Develops buttery notes with a gentle warmth and dry oak finish that sits on the back of the palate.
Respectable
A respectable entry-level bourbon with classic bourbon character, best appreciated after it opens in the glass, and suitable for sipping or mixing.
