This bourbon blew me away with its uniqueness. On the nose, it was oaky, musty, and had a deep wine or port undertone. On the tongue, it was soft and fluffy and filled the mouth. Some around us got snickerdoodle flavors but I tasted a port-like berry tone just under the caramel and oakiness. It does linger a bit after it’s gone but not as long as some. At 113 proof it can take a few water drops, and when you do the nose opens up to cocktail cherries. As a scotch drinker, this has opened me back up to trying more bourbons.
