An excellent, well-balanced bourbon. A beautiful aroma of baking spices like cinnamon and clove, alongside peach, vanilla, banana, and pear. Flavors of oak, vanilla, brown sugar, with a subtle spice on the finish.

I can definitely taste the orange. Smooth with a bit of smoke and a mildly warm finish.
Vanilla, sweet corn, and significant heat. I favor Double Oaked.
Needs more complexity. A less intense flavor than double oak.
Toasted nuts with a hint of vanilla.
