Sharp spicy clove, pepper, molasses, brown sugar, some wood notes,
Finish:
Medium to long, nice balance of oak and brown sugar
Overall:
Im a bit less let down by this dram but it reminds me of a more robust Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I like that there is more intense spice characteristic and theres a really nice mouthfeel despite the lowered proof. Im going to rate this a step above the Slandys select but I think this is as high as any MGP bourbon Ive tried before has reached. Its delicious and full of character.
