NOSE:

A bright and lively blast of fruit with complementing floral and oak elements. The light string from the alcohol is warming with a slight burn. Really nice and inviting overall.

palate:

A great mix of sweet and spicy. Dark fruit is most prominent, with hints of caramel, vanilla, and just the right amount of oak rounding it out. The sweetness here is balanced by a nearly perfect spice note. It coats the mouth nicely making for a great mouthfeel. Overall well-rounded and quite balanced.

finish:

Long, sweet, and almost perfectly balanced. The flavors in the palate linger for minutes after the sip with a tapering sweetness and light spiciness leaving a great aftertaste. One of the better finishes I’ve experienced in a while.

uniqueness:

The Bottled-in-Bond designation doesn’t seem to have the significance today than it once did. The historical references make it pretty clear the Act was necessary to help consumers avoid adulterated whiskey. Which could have conceivably had just about anything added to it for flavoring or coloring purposes.
