Soft classic scents of vanilla, hay, and light oak blend together. On the surface it doesn’t seem overly complex, but digging deeper there’s raisin, light green apple, and a smidge of cinnamon and brown sugar mixed together. The scents mingle extremely well together and present a solid start to this bourbon. The sip provides a nice creamy viscous mouthfeel. Delicious syrupy sweet vanilla, raisins, a dab of lavender infused honey, and a touch of butterscotch. Even though it’s a 100 proof bourbon, there’s almost no burn which allows you to savor this for a while. It’s gentle yet full of flavor and simply put, fantastic. A warming heat that showcases light oak, sweet vanilla, and a slight hint of golden raisins. The raisins are very fleeting, and leave behind a light sweet vanilla and oak taste that lingers for a short bit. This eventually transitions to just a light oak that gently lingers for a while. It’s a really nice way to cap the sip, however after the fantastic palate, I can’t help but want more out of the finish.
