A good quality bourbon that has a little more on the nose than it does on the palate. We’ve got a start of soft, gentle oak that gives way to some softer fruit notes. The green apple note still dominating the profile. Little hints of rye spice, caramel sauce, a little milk chocolate, and even a far off note of espresso are running through this.
