  • A rock-solid expression. I'm surprised at the influence of the wheat.

  • It’s crazy how a bourbon that looks so dark can be so misleading. Seriously, it has the hue of a 12+ year old bourbon, but then shows its true colors by smelling and tasting younger than it’s 5 years of age. It is unfortunate to say the least.

  • Nose:

    Quite grain-heavy on the nose. Cereal grains are joined by cinnamon and French toast.

  • Taste:

    Plenty of wheat influence on the palate — a surprising amount considering it only makes up 15% of the mashbill. Big wheaty notes are joined by dark chocolate, honey, espresso, leather and a touch of cherry.

  • Finish:

    The finish leans grainy and wheat-heavy again, joined by honey.

  • Overall:

    A rock-solid expression. I'm surprised at the influence of the wheat.

  • Score:
