Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
s of cedar, maple and vanilla bean that give way to seasoned woody notes of cocoa and young berries, ultimately leading to a long, dry finish of black pepper. My tasting notes: Color – Medium amber in both glass and bottle Nose – oak and vanilla, a touch of sweetness
Palate:
– leather, oak, caramel, a velvet feel to the mouth (especially after the first sip), pepper, slight smoke Finish – long oak, slight smoke, pepper heat, and dry Rating – 87/100 This is a nicely balanced dry bourbon, with plenty of oak and at $65 per bottle (750ml), this is not a bad deal for a 15 year old 90.5 proof bourbon.
