Tasting Notes

Nose

Big, powerful. Woody. Cedarwood. Cigar box. Waxed jacket. Sour fruit. Cranberry.

Palate

A sweet start then a huge oaky outburst. Bitter chocolate. Pepper. A huge wave of spices and oak which numbs the tongue. Walnut toffee notes too.

Finish

Dry, spicy, prickly.

Comment

A big untamed Bourbon which needs a dash of water to calm down. Not much though as it goes on the astringent side. I know there are fans of this style. Too fiery for me.
