Tasting Notes

Nose

Those warm, spicy vanilla notes one expects from an older bourbon are there even before I zone into to sniff near the glass. There’s some oak there, but it is pretty muted for a venerable American whiskey like this. Interchanging with these are hints of orange marmalade and, dare I say, some candy corn.

Palate

This zings onto the palate right away, the initial heat of this older, cask strength bourbon immediately noticeable. Cinnamon reaches across the tongue in short order, joined by graham crackers, chocolate, madeira and, in a very minor fashion, oak and vanilla. The finish is long and hardy, reminding you even old timers have some punch left in them.
