"The nose is indulgent. It's creamy with dessert-like notes of persimmon, toasted vanilla bean, and torched sugar. The tannic structure perfumes the French oak. It's warming. Like you're walking into a bourbon rickhouse on a warm summer's day. The palate leads with more caramel and spice. Flambéed cherries and aged black tea start to butter rye toast with apricot jam. The oak continues to develop towards the back palate. This all leads to a long coating finish. Black pepper, toasted almonds, and blackberries finish off this well-rounded and complex bourbon."
