- Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Bold and vibrant, dominated by big baking spices and hints of cherries jubilee, with an underlying warmth reminiscent of golden raisins.
- Palate: A powerhouse of flavors reflecting its high rye content and double-digit age. Layers of toasted coconut and spicy plums complement the initial bold spice. Notes of pecans and black pepper add depth, while the oak is present but doesn’t overpower.
- Finish: A delightful medley of toasted almonds and black tea, gradually transitioning to the sweet, refreshing character of peach sun tea as it lingers.
While the nose sets a strong foundation, the palate truly shines with a rich complexity. Flavors of toffee, dried fig, and custard weave through accents of black tea and cloves, creating a harmonious balance that is rare in older bourbons. The sweetness remains intact, with oak and tannins adding structure without overshadowing the dried fruit and herbal nuances. The finish extends into notes of cedar box and aged tobacco, leaving a sophisticated and lasting impression.
