Taster

Nose: Aroma with delightful strands of exotic fruit and honey. Fruit cake. Oak adds to feeling of class.

Palate: Lush, pleasingly deep and malty. A firm nuttiness adds extra oily, chewability to the toffee.

Finish: Drier than of old. Caramel toffee with the oak guarantees a bittersweet edge.

Comment: An old faithful of a bourbon. Never lets you down and being from the wheaty school always shows good oak balance. Nose is to die for.

Score: 8.5
