Nose
Sweet caramel, red fruit, cherry notes, raisin, oak, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, leather. Not overly ethanol-driven.
Palate
Nutty, cherry juice, initial sweetness followed by bitterness and dry spice. Medium body with drying oak finish. Develops more buttery notes as it opens in the glass.
Finish
Medium length with a dry oak character. Bitterness dissipates as it sits, leaving a pleasant hug on the palate. Develops nicely with time in the glass.
Respectable
A respectable entry-level bourbon that delivers classic bourbon character and flavor development at a budget-friendly price point.
