Nose
Aromatic. Maple Syrup. Palate
Light-bodied. Very firm. Chewy. Rooty. Emphatic liquorice sweets. Finish
Winey. Faintly cidery. Tannic. A hint of char. Distinctly dry. Comment
Teasing interplay of sweetness and dryness, with the latter eventually winning.
Dave Broom
Nose
Perfumed. Soft and fruity. Blackberry, treacle toffee. A big smoky bear of a drink. Palate
Soft and powerful, caramelised sugars, fruit and spices: cumin/sandalwood. Finish
Chocolate and honey. Comment
Less thick than Baker's and better balanced. Another great cocktail bourbon. Big and rich.
