Amber color. Aromas and flavors of grilled honey butter corn cakes, dried coconut, and cola with a dry full body and a hot, interesting, medium-length finish that presents accents of buttered honey whole wheat bread, red hots, and caramel. A touch fiery, this bold Bourbon packs in spicy cinnamon, butter and grilled bread notes that open up to more complexity with water or when bathed in ice.
