Big shout out to Libby’s in Covington, KY and Lady Luck for collaboratively placing me there on a Thursday, which apparently is half-off dusties night. This 1oz pour only cost $19, which in my book is a solid deal. Nose is sugar, lemon, sour cherry. Body turns sweet, but the cherry remains. There’s grape flavor as well. It’s a bit dry, and the overall vibe is sangria or a red wine. The transition into the finish is lovely. It’s delayed, and the sweet pit fruits transition into a nice cinnamon buzz. The heat lingers longer than you expect, and I freakin love it.

Nose- Cherry comes through strongly Body- Sweet with cherry, cinnamon and cloves Finish- the cloves and baking spices finish off a very nice bourbon Had this at Libby’s in Covington KY. Fantastic!
