Tasting Notes
I’m biased, but this is the stuff that dreams are made of... bourbon Zeus and his pepper lightning bolt - zap!!!
It burned my eyebrows off...but I feel good about that. The easy drinking one of the lot. Will definitely give you the warm fuzzies.
Nice balance between oak, caramel and spice.
Wow. Lifespan on the flavor is super extended. Looong lingering body. Cinnamon, leather, and pipe tobacco make it happen.
Salted cherry with a bitter finish. Little sourness to it, like a cough syrup.
