Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose opens with a rich, molasses sweetness. As it swirls a bit, I can pick out the concentrated vanilla and hints of stewed strawberry. All these scents are carried on the woody base of a deeply aged, high proof bourbon.

Palate

You can only hold this a second before you remember you’re drinking 133 proof bourbon. The burn sets on fast and sets on hard. The hard burn and focused bourbon sweetness feel like sipping molten caramel, with only bare hints of red fruit. If I add a few drops of water, the sweetness loses some fire and takes on a woody body and gives a feel of bittersweet chocolate.

Finish

The finish is a woody, alcohol forward slow burn.
