Taster
Nose: Intense Christmas candle: clove, candied orange, cinnamon stick, fir tree. Bramble jam, raisins, and prune bars. Lemon oils and pineapple juice in the top notes.
Palate: Medium bodied. Blackberry cordial, dark chocolate and peppermint. The spices are present but restrained, delicate tannins add structure. A little white pepper and cranberry.
Finish: Medium, with gingerbread.
Comment: A well-balanced and immensely enjoyable bourbon with some real complexity.
Score: 8.3
