Sweet vanilla custard on the nose, along with graham cracker, golden raisin, madeleines, macadamia nuts and maple.
Velvety mouthfeel on the palate, which has a pleasant amount of oakiness to balance out the sweet flavor profile. There's a huge peanut brittle note plus cola, black cherry, molasses, nougat, caramel, Red Hots, a touch of mint, sawdust, raisin and a slight minerality. There's some heat here but not an overwhelming amount.
Long finish with tannin, soft oak, clove, cinnamon, leather, brown sugar, more cola, sassafras and marshmallow.
Not too complex, but a tasty, sweet release from Heaven Hill. It doesn't reach the heights we know LBP is capable of, but it's still great bourbon.
