Category: Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of frosted berry danish, lemon herb muffin, buttery fresh praline, and maple and pine sap with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, engaging, long finish that presents overtones of panettone, brown spices, toffee, and honeyed mint tea. A zesty, spicy Bourbon that will cover a lot of bases as a sipper or the foundation of a fine cocktail.
