The aroma is bold and intense, featuring very dark caramel, rich aged oak, tobacco, char, and abundant dried fruits like prunes, figs, dried apricots, and dried black cherries. The flavor is less complex than the aroma, with notes of burnt caramel, tannic aged oak, and black cherry. All the complexity returns in the strong, lingering finish, which includes tannic aged oak, burnt caramel, dried black cherry, prune, and fig. This is an excellent value for the price.

It's elegant, refined, and outstanding. As someone who exclusively drinks dark liquors, I can be quite discerning, and I am especially taken with this new bourbon discovery. New Dawn has become my new favorite. It offers hints of ginger, orange, and apricot, alongside a subtle touch of rosemary. Initially, it presents a bit of spice, which then blossoms into a pleasantly warm and satisfying heat. Purchase a bottle for yourself and a companion.
This cask strength bourbon's rich flavor is as impressive as its deep color and aroma. Despite its strength, a glass of New Dawn provides complex flavors without the overwhelming alcohol burn often associated with such proof. It features a pleasant taste profile with notes of apricot and warming tea. This is a bourbon to be enjoyed now and saved for special occasions.
New Dawn, a bourbon, truly shines with its scent, palate, and overall enjoyment, presenting a sophisticated and lively taste. It kicks off with a bit of spice, then shifts to bright notes of citrus and stone fruit. The spirit changes as you drink it, making it suitable for all sorts of events, whether you're toasting something, hanging out with pals, or unwinding. Plus, it gets you nicely buzzed!
With a sweet, approachable apricot flavor, this drink is smooth on its own and perfect for cocktails. It's best enjoyed in the afternoon with friends or relaxing at home after a long day. It also makes a great gift for bourbon lovers!
This initial bourbon offering from New Dawn is a masterpiece. I was eager to sample it, and it certainly delivered. Every taste brings forth intricate notes; I detect ribbons of caramel, wood, and delicate spices and fruit. I plan to share New Dawn with everyone I know!
