Tasting Notes: This 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon, finished in Amontillado sherry casks, offers a rich and layered experience:
Nose: Opens with a medley of dried fruits—apricots, golden raisins, and a touch of rum-soaked plum—interwoven with the nutty aroma of toasted almonds and a bold oak spice.
Palate: Luxuriously smooth with evolving notes of rum raisin bread, caramelized brown sugar, and a soft Amontillado sherry richness. A pronounced sweet nuttiness emerges mid-palate, evoking peanut brittle and a whisper of sherry cream.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering sherry sweetness, gentle toasted nuts, and a final touch of spiced vanilla and tobacco.
