Excerpt: Water adds a bit of cocoa powder on the palate and boosts the spices on the finish, which is long and slightly dry with lingering spices and hints of molasses and brown sugar.
Excerpt: I’m not even sure I would put this in a drink: I like it too much on its own. There’s something very purely bourbon about this, like the essence of bourbon.
Excerpt: Overall, this is quite nice. Not my favorite of the distillery’s products, but it’s a strong bourbon that could duke it out with Buffalo Trace any day.
