Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The liquid gold in the glass boasts a deep, amber hue, testament to its extended maturation in new charred American oak barrels. A gentle swirl leaves a curtain of slow-dripping tears, suggesting a rich and velvety texture.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory experience begins with a complex bouquet of caramelized oak and sweet vanilla. Subtler notes of dark fruits—think figs and dried cherries—mingle with hints of toasted grain and a gentle overlay of rye spiciness. A whiff of leather adds an old-world complexity, indicative of its 9 years in oak barrels.
Palate (Taste):
First impressions are dominated by an intensely rich caramel sweetness and robust oakiness, very much in line with its aromatic profile. The spiciness of the rye grain—apparent but not overwhelming—creates a perfect foil for the initial sweetness. Mid-palate, nuances of dark chocolate and espresso emerge, providing a sophisticated complexity.
Finish:
Long and resonating, the finish leaves an enduring warmth and a balanced melding of its flavor constituents: oak, spice, and sweetness. The higher proof lends itself to an especially lingering finish, leaving traces of baking spices and a mild tobacco-like bitterness that beckons another sip.
Mouthfeel:
The high proof, combined with the 9-year aging process, results in a full-bodied, almost chewy mouthfeel. This is a bourbon that demands to be savored, with a velvety texture that coats the palate and allows each nuanced flavor to be fully appreciated.
