87- Nose
- Robust. Leather saddlery. Molasses.
- Palate
- Firm. Deep. Very malty-tasting, yet assertively a bourbon. Malt-loaf. Cookies. Raisiny.
- Finish
- Rummy. Powerful. Soothing.
- Comment
- A huge whiskey. Put together with style and sophistication, but still with all the robustness of a true bourbon. A classic, of course. A Clint Eastwood of whiskeys.
Dave Broom
87- Nose
- Big, fruity and complex. Ripe dark fruits: blackberry, prune, wild honey, caramelised fruit, leather, chocolate. Luscious and beautifully balanced.
- Palate
- Big, no, make that huge. Ripe, treacle, chocolate mousse, with a lift of rose petal/violet high. Thick layers of honey and nut and balanced spicy oak.
- Finish
- Long and complex.
- Comment
- This is what great bourbon is all about. Languorous, rich, elegant and powerful.
