Boulder Spirits Bottled in Bond Bourbon

This one was quite surprising. The very first aroma I detected was bubblegum, like the old-school Big Chew kind. The nose then opened up to classic vanilla and butterscotch notes, but with a slight edge. The palate began with some fruit, possibly apples, then transitioned to a sharp spice that continued through the finish. I need more time with this one to determine if I'd buy it again, but it's solid enough to try.

The aroma is smooth with caramel undertones. Excellent neat! The lingering warmth, burn, and smoothness are quite good. Light black pepper, oak, and char are evident. I typically add ice, but it's unnecessary here as it dulls the flavor. This is a quality bourbon and certainly worth acquiring.

Smells of raisin, wood smoke, and leather. It has a scotch-like peat and tastes of cherry, with a cherry finish. It's a nice bourbon, though a bit pricey.

This is a heavy vanilla bomb.
