- Nose
- Fruity and toffeeish. Polished oak.
- Palate
- Lighter-bodied than the full colour might suggest, but firm and textured.
- Finish
- Hint of char. Firm and clinging.
- Comment
- A bourbon of some presence and elegance. With dessert, or after dinner?
- Nose
- Toast and marmalade with coffee.
- Palate
- Dry and spicy start. The oak is pierced by a decent corn richness that hangs on the oily middle.
- Finish
- Remains vanilla-rich and oaky.
- Comment
- A busy, beautifully constituted bourbon that gracefully defies the years.
