Nose:
A wealth of brown sugar and caramel scents push forward over an even sweeter underlay of crème brulée and butterscotch. These scents make their biggest impact as they combine, creating layers of sweet intensity. There’s a touch of corn that follows creating a solid bed for the sweet scents to lay on, before leather closes out the nose. It’s a relatively soft and gentle aroma that is surprisingly grounded despite its sweetness, yet it’s this sweetness that is the true highlight of the nose.
Palate:
A mix of caramel cream candy and dark brown sugar begins the palate in a familiar place. Slowly, mixed nuts and dark fruit are added, before the sip turns decidedly herbal and floral. A very light oak base is ever present yet of little consequence. The palate is delivered with a silky smooth mouthfeel, which makes the bourbon drink extremely easy sipping overall. The palate doesn’t try to offend, or even challenge the drinker. Instead, it goes for pure drinkability with a flavor profile that is familiar with fleeting moments of herbal and floral curiosity.
Finish:
The herbal and dark fruit notes of the palate carry over into the finish. Soon after, a layer of thick leather and mellow oak are added, before rye spice and pepper come barreling in. As with the palate, the finish stays manageable at all times, and its silky smoothness trails off thanks to a lingering roasted aftertaste.
