Nose

Gorgeous honey, diced dates, old leather and rye with a teasing sprinkling of spice. Magnificent.

Palate

Massively intense launch, waxy honeycomb with fabulously controlled Demerara sweetness and an edge of rye.

Finish

Long lightly liquoriced with the honey hanging on, as does the rye and a soft build up of cocoa.

Comment

A big bourbon with the proportions being generous and almost perfectly proportioned.
