Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: An oily, roasty aroma with a slither of liquorice and excellent small grains.

Palate: An explosion of sweet, oily liquorice and simmering spice.

Finish: Medium length vanilla with a hint of hickory and nuts on the finale.

Comment: A beautiful bourbon that doesn't fade. Simplistic towards the middle and finish but the journey there is sensational.

Score: 8.5
