This single barrel Bourbon opens up to a cherry cordial on the nose, followed by nice floral notes and a lemon-pepper dry rub vibe. Burnt sugars follow as it gets a little more dessert-like, with vanilla and a baked-bread quality.
The palate starts off with a root beer note with some medicinal cherry, then the same lemon-pepper rub from the nose appears, with slight chili powder adding to an appropriate 115 proof heat. Aged notes follow as the palate turns into the finish. Tobacco leaf and leather emerge alongside oak and vanilla on a medium-long finish. With subsequent sips, the finish brings up memories of a hot toddy, with a lemon-honey finish. Overall, this Bourbon is the epitome of Whiskey that hits above its weight class.
