Sappy. Garden mint. Flowery. Palate

Good flavour development. Well balanced.

Nose
Excellent rye bite to firm and sweet nose. Fruity: mature plums and over ripe banana star. Palate
Rye kicks off early and allows bitter and prickly, softly spiced, middle to ensure a characterful, multi-layered bourbon. Finish
Massively complex follow through with quite enormous and beautiful chocolate notes. Comment
A chocoholic's bourbon with a bigger rye firmness. Tasty stuff.
