The nose is dark and filled with a mix of caramelized and grain-forward notes. Crème brûlée, raspberries and a dusty rye grain note.
Nice sticky mouthfeel. The palate is very distinctive. Tobacco and clove leap out, joined by black pepper, blackberry, orange peel and peach tea.
Blackberry, tobacco and tannin kick off the finish, which transitions into a tropical profile of guava and grilled mango.
An enjoyable bourbon with a really distinctive flavor profile. In terms of mouthfeel, it drinks a bit higher-proof than it is (complimentary).
