Milam & Greene The Castle Hill Series Bourbon Batch 2

Pour: Burnt honey, glencairn glass Nose: Faint orange, cocoa, mild malt, numerous subtle notes, nothing dominates. A rather complex aroma. Taste: Starts with buttercream, a slight warmth that quickly softens. The oak and age are noticeable in the finish but dissipate rapidly. There's a peppery tingle on the back of the tongue, reminiscent of Sichuan peppercorns. Overall: An initial burst of flavors that require several sips to fully appreciate due to the quick finish. Despite a complex nose, the taste was less impactful than anticipated, though still a pleasant experience.

Appearance is a clear, burnt orange hue. It presents a fragrance of sorghum syrup, brown sugar, subtle peaches, vanilla, rosin, oak, and a hint of cool spearmint. The taste is agreeably woody, with a definite warmth that transitions into spicy cinnamon red hots, concluding with notes of coconut and vanilla.

Aroma: Smoky tobacco, ripe cherry, and aged oak. Taste: Direct notes of cherry and oak. Hints of black and red raspberry. Aftertaste: Oak, cinnamon, dark cherry, and vibrant raspberry. A satisfyingly long finish, truly excellent.

Notes of chocolate, cherry, leather, and toffee. A medium finish. It is smooth, understated, and intricate.

Develops on the palate. Structured tannins, creamy texture
