Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
In the glass, this bourbon showcases a radiant amber hue with glints of copper, symbolizing its prolonged sojourn in charred American oak barrels. The color is both inviting and indicative of its complexity.
Nose (Aroma):
On the olfactory front, the bourbon emanates an inviting aromatic profile. A primary wave of sweet corn and caramel is accompanied by a more delicate backdrop of dried fruits, floral notes, and nuanced spices like cinnamon and clove.
Palate (Taste):
Upon first sip, a harmonious array of flavors unfolds on the palate. The initial sweetness is balanced by complex notes of oak and vanilla. Mid-palate, the bourbon introduces a wave of complex dark fruit flavors, including figs and raisins, underpinned by a subtle, peppery spiciness inherent to the rye content.
Finish:
The finish is long-lasting, smooth, and quite sophisticated, characterized by lingering notes of toffee, vanilla, and a slight smoky undertone. It concludes with a touch of warmth that traces an elegant pathway down the throat.
Mouthfeel:
The bourbon boasts a medium-to-full body with a creamy texture. It offers a beautiful balance between its oiliness and the tingling sensation rendered by its spicy constituents, making for an opulent mouthfeel.
