A harmonious profile, featuring oak notes that are present but not overpowering. It feels smooth on the tongue, and the scent invites you to take a drink and savor it. Truly an exceptional bourbon.
Mellow and refined, with cherry candies, maple syrup, butterscotch, blood orange, dark dark chocolate, and oak. The empty glass has notes of fresh oak.
The nose is fruity with hints of nuts and vanilla. The palate has notes of leather, caramel, and vanilla, finishing with spice.
Incredibly smooth and well-balanced for a 17-year-old. Very easy to drink and enjoy.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
