Tasting notes

Nose: Casks after being charred, gentle oak with sweet overtones. Honey cornbread with melted butter.
Palate: Dusty spice notes, similar to rye bread, tempered with that creamy, honey oak. Soft fruits, peaches.
Finish: Long oak grip and gentle tannins.
Comment: A good all round Bourbon.
