Description

Bourbon whiskey made with a mash of corn, rye, and barley and aged two years in new, charred, Kentucky oak casks. Bottle at 43.7% ABV.

Appearance: About average golden amber with a slightly reddish hue.

Nose: The first sniff off this whiskey brings a bright, acidic bouquet into the nasal passages, consisting particularly of lemon, honey, hay, and a bit a ginger. Keeping the hay aroma, it gradually evolves to develop a strong caramel scent, the sweetness of which is subdued by nutmeg and clove.

Palate: The first sip glides onto the tongue like honey with faint floral notes cutting into the sweetness a bit. That rapidly evolves on the tongue, though, and transitions to more a richer caramel that quickly gets earthier and spicier as ginger, nutmeg and clove elements manifest themselves and build as they remain on the tongue. Swallowing sends a rush of caramel throughout the mouth, which is then ebbed off by a slow tide of spices that tingles as it slowly marches from front to back. That leaves the tongue coated with an earthy, caramel that occasionally flashes with spice for the next minute or so.

(Flavors) Black peppercorn, smooth***** apple, fresh cut grass, chemicals***, anti-freeze
