Nose
Dark oak, dried cherry, leather. Seventeen years have produced a bourbon of extraordinary depth — polished, mature, complex. Beneath the oak, dark chocolate, dried fruit and a gentle vanilla sweetness. The nose of a bourbon that has had time to become genuinely great.
Palate
Rich and oak-forward — dark toffee, dried cherry, a robust but well-integrated wood character. The seventeen years have added layers of complexity without tipping into over-oaked bitterness. Mid-palate brings espresso, roasted nut and a gentle warmth. At 101 proof, it has presence without aggression.
Finish
Very long, with mature oak, dark fruit and a warming elegance.
Expert Review
