The nose is complex and well balanced. Plenty of baking spice is present, but it’s also quite sweet — confectionary with complementary stone fruit notes. There’s a big peach note that’s surrounded by cinnamon, gingerbread and cookie dough.
Moderate viscosity. A bit of bitter tannin is joined by peach tea, peanut brittle, nutmeg and vanilla cake with white frosting.
Big peanut and almond brittle note opens the finish, followed by coffee, Toffee, dark chocolate, caramel and a touch of leather and dried cherries.
A baking spice-forward bourbon that has a nice contrast between spice and big fruit notes (mostly peach, on my palate). All in all, this is not my favorite Old Fitz release. It drinks a little bit thin in terms of flavor and a there’s more rough heat than I’d expect for the proof. It’s still an above average bourbon, but I’ve tasted better from the powerhouse that is Heaven Hill.
