House Review
  • Nose:

    Pleasant nose with French toast, buttercream frosting, cornbread, gingerbread, walnuts and a touch of cooking oil

  • Taste:

    Orange peel, demerara, cornbread, butterscotch, cherries, cinnamon, pepper

  • Finish:

    Long finish with char, cinnamon, buttercream and luxardo

  • Overall:

    Super tasty bourbon! It has all the soft sweetness of the original but dials the heat up. With that being said, the heat is super manageable at 120-plus proof
