Drank from a rocks glass. Nose: Even from a rocks glass, the aroma was incredible. I could sniff it all day. Lightly sweet caramel, brown sugar, vanilla. No alcohol/ethanol detected. Palate: Spicy like a stick of Big Red gum, but more cinnamon-forward. Despite the spicy wood flavor, it doesn't sting and is very smooth to drink.
Bourbon doesn't possess the same complexity as, say, Scotch. However, anything aged 20 years must have some character. This one does. It's very smooth. Caramel, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. The warmth is consistent from start to finish. I found it very enjoyable.
Nose is very pleasing Palate is balanced Sweet, but not excessively so Features all the standard bourbon characteristics Finish is nice
Sampled at hundred north in gilbert. Aromas of wheat, cinnamon, and oak. Flavors of cinnamon, toasted toffee.
This is among the finest. Sweet, but not overly so, with just the right amount of warmth!
Notes of honey and citrus with maple and nutmeg. Ideal for autumn
