Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Awesome. Lovely. Very exotic and floral. Then comes the purple smells and some oak.
P: Big cherry wood, flowery, oaky, and I like it.
P: Wow. Transforms itself several times from pure sugar to flowery nectar.
Eminently drinkable, but not for the wood wimps.

Adam

Richer and sweeter than most bourbons, especially considering the 45% abv. The long, warming finish makes it all the more satisfying. Smooth. Remember to let this one rest in your mouth for a time to get the extra flavors. Rich, yum, did I say rich?

Retaste: Better than I remembered it. Dried cherries and cinnamon, and sweet. YUM. A/A-

Astringent citrus and spice nose, a bit of syrup. With a little air over the palate there's intense heat... lingers with rich sweetness and bright clove notes.

Sku

Nose: Nice huge woody bourbon flavors, like an old library. One of those noses that will just blow you away.
Palate: Starts right in with puckering levels of wood, but a bit of a diluted quality. I want it to be cask strength to match the power of the nose. Corn sweetness and a briny rye-spice fight in equal parts for attention but mostly lose to the wood, though the brine manages to stick in your craw through the finish.
