Deep russet in color, rich oaky aromas. Consistently smooth taste with vanilla, dried fruit, and a long, smoky finish.
Earthy, leathery, and spiced, this bourbon shows nice maturity and polish, evoking a well-worn wood-paneled barroom. The flavors offer good intensity and concentration, striking a nice balance of sweet and savory notes, as spicy cedarwood and cigar box come draped in toffee. Water releases some vivid chocolate, vanilla cream, and clove-studded orange. Nice verve, fine balance, and evident maturity. Reviewed by: Jeffery Lindenmuth (Fall 2018)Rich and creamy, this small-batch Bourbon offers butterscotch laced with bitter chocolate and orange peel, edged with a clove and cinnamon finish. Muscular alcohol feel. - K.N.On the nose there’s plenty of caramel, vanilla, citrus and wood spices. And the bourbon is a mouthful! It’s intense, fruity, with lots of spice from the oak. The finish is long and sweet with cinnamon and some caramel from the nose.
