Restrained. Sweet. Nutty. Smoky.

Almond essence. Vanilla. Corn muffins.

Toasty. Crisp.

Biscuits and gravy and a shot of Charter 12. The breakfast of champions.

Nose
Cooked fruits, bitter orange/orange pulp, rum and raisin. Almost leathery notes. Pipe smoke, allspice.
Palate
Sweet and deep, but with very pure flavours. Grilled nut. Old-fashioned rose. Ripe.

Begins to dry. Shows some good maturity.

A well-made, serious bourbon. One for cigars.
