Taster
Nose: Big and full,with vanilla,candy, over-ripe plum and peach,dusty and with lots of tannin.
Palate: A big boy bourbon - full on candy and rich fruits,saddle leather, cherry,cocoa and lots of sharp astringent woody notes.
Finish: Long and woody,with sweet spice fruits.Planning to drink something else? Don't bother.
Comment: Whiskey's answer to the new AC/DC album:old,male, predictable but damn fine,too.
