Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 94 Points
Tasting Notes: Old gold/bronze coloring. Toasted marshmallow, oatmeal, spirity aromas abound in this generous fragrance that's hearty and assertive, ending in a roasted peanut scents that's appealing. Flavor-wise, there's a piquant element of black pepper that fades by midpalate, leaving the door open for cornmeal, caramel corn, treacle, marzipan. Long, roasted finish is attractive and robust.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
The first sniffs detect restrained, lightly roasted kernel/bean-like scents; bouquet opens up as aromas of saddle leather, tobacco leaf and walnut come to the fore. Palate entry is semisweet, candied and creamy; by midpalate, the taste includes pepper, welcome spirity heat, oak resin and caramel corn. Ends showing the delicate side of Bourbon.
