OVERVIEW Intense! This is the whiskey equivalent of a double IPA. Straight, it leaves the inside of your mouth feeling scoured. Water moved it in a totally distinct and strange direction that really works perfectly.
NOSE This smells like a night at the movie theater: candy corn, popcorn, butter, shellac. There’s also some slightly hidden aromas of tropical fruit – pineapple, coconut, and orange peel.
PALATE The initial flavors are tart and a little bitter – blood orange, citrus gastrique, dark chocolate, wheat bran. As the palate evolves, more of those classic aged bourbon flavors appear like warmed prunes, nutmeg, perique tobacco, stewed cherry, and pencil shavings.
