Nose
Beautiful leather shop aroma with rich oak and tooled leather notes; clean saddle-leather smell with hints of spice and cinnamon; dark baking chocolate underlying.
Palate
Well-aged character with minimal upfront sweetness; dark baking chocolate and cocoa powder notes; drying effect on the backend typical of older bourbons; impressive depth despite lower proof.
Finish
Dry and lingering with subtle sweetness fading to oak and cocoa.
Recommended
A distinguished older bourbon with sophisticated leather and oak character that delivers genuine maturity and complexity, making it one of the finest expressions in the lineup despite its restrained proof.
