“THE FINISHIS LONGAND LUSH.”

 

Burnished gold in color, this bourbon brings a mélange of aromas to the nose: honey, vanilla, oak, toffee and a suggestion of coriander are all there. The body is big, and on the palate, this becomes a very spicy, masculine whiskey with a complex spicy mustiness and notes of leather, tobacco, overripe oranges and a surprising smokiness not often found in a bourbon.

 

Wine Enthusiast Magazine

“ONE OF THEWORLD’S GREATWHISKEYS.”

Nose:

Outstanding aroma, kicked off by a spicy prickle. Satisfyingly deep, gently vanilla-ed and molassed with even a sprig of sweet mint.

Palate:

A rip-roaring waxy sweetness checked by a big buildup of vanilla-rich oak. Corn is chewy, and rye offers a rich textured background.

Finish:

Dries at last as the oak takes command, but rye offers extra depth and a layer of bitterness, as does a lingering licorice.

Comment:

Big, moody, uncompromising and complex beyond belief.
