Tasting Notes
Aroma - very light, butterscotch, vanilla. Mouthfeel - extremely coating, thick, rich. Flavor - juicy, fruity, complex layers, leather. Lingers hot for a few minutes, pleasant layers of flavor linger. Great for a by itself session. Needs no companion.
Dark, mysterious nose -- attic, Leather. Tsunami flavor. Full on - oh, this is what bourbon should taste like. Would love to try this at a slightly lower proof. Sweet but not too sweet, wood, but not too much wood. This is not a relaxing spirit, but in a good way.
Easy, smooth, bold taste. I feel like I'm drinking a real spirit. Hints of caramel, cherry garcia, spice. After drinking, the "spice" lingers a while like I just ate a hot wing.
