Tasting Notes

Nose

Warm caramel and vanilla wafer drift up first, trailed by orchard apple, a whisper of cinnamon, and a faint floral lift like fresh-cut rye grass.

Palate

Soft and rounded — butterscotch and toasted oak cradle a quiet pulse of black pepper, with brown sugar and baked apple settling on the mid-palate.

Finish

Short to medium, gently warming, leaving toffee, light leather, and a dusting of nutmeg.

Expert Review

8.2/10

The everyday workhorse of America's first bottled bourbon brand — soft caramel, gentle spice, and a lineage stretching back to 1870.
