House Review
Nose:
Honey, brown sugar, oak, lots of vanilla. Not a lot of spice, not a lot of fruit. Some tobacco.
Taste:
Thin to medium mouthfeel, some young grassy notes. Clove, pepper, some spice here. Less caramel, some lightly malty notes, faint musty. No real fruits here, but there is some pepper and astringency. Heat isn't terrible.
Finish:
Short to medium in length, malty, musty, bitter with some astringency. Clove and pepper, faint orange peel, growing astringent with time.
Overall:
A bit hot, bitter and grassy, which is surprising for a bourbon of this age.
Score:
75
