ABV 62.5%
A rich bourbon that varies in style from batch to batch. This one has a better than average middle, but is let down in the final stages.

Nose: Light and quite malty: almost dank Hessian amid some growing rye.
Palate: Corn much more prominent and then a hugely satisfying surge of honey and spice. Delicious.
Finish: Slightly fat. A disappointment compared to excellent build up. Some decent rye lingers.
Comment: A rich bourbon that varies in style from batch to batch. This one has a better than average middle, but is let down in the final stages.
Score: 8
Taster
Nose: Soft, sweet, fresh, enticing.
Palate: Very big. Fat but supple and rich. Mature. Elusive flavours. Vanilla. Cigar-smoke.
Finish: Sweet, soothing, tongue-coating. Astonishingly long.
Comment: Every time I taste small batch bourbon, this one comes out on top for me.
Score: 9
