Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

This charming bourbon has a truly subtle nose that suggests a freshly baked apple pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla beans. On a second taste, stone fruit and cloves become apparent and sit nicely on the lush, mouth-filling palate. The finish is long and textured without showing alcohol or astringency.
