Nose
Spicy and prickly with corn and caramel sweetness upfront. Notes of peach, pear, and apple with an almost waxy pear peel quality. High proof expresses as spice and flavor rather than pure heat.
Palate
Full-flavored with spiciness and prickliness on the tip of the tongue. Layers of caramel, peanut, apple, and pear work across the palate. Pauses on the middle and sides of the tongue before presenting spicy oak finish. Cherry and maple syrup notes emerge with continued sipping. Syrupy sweetness lingers on the back of the tongue.
Finish
All oak and spice with baking spices. Long finish with sneaky after-finish that brings back peanut sweetness.
Remarkable
A flavor-packed, spicy six-year bourbon with remarkable complexity and multiple layers that evolve across the palate and linger with surprising sweetness on the finish.
