Nose Sandalwood, buttered corn and earthy vanilla at first. Then there’s burnt sugar, browning apples and salted caramel. Cola cubes, honeycomb and dusty oak develop with time.
Palate Rasping spice bursts to life, predominantly with peppery oak and drying nutmeg. Butterscotch and sweeter vanilla temper matters. There’s a subtle bitter lemon note there too.
Finish Salted cashews and soda bread.
Overall Very impressive depth and character in a bourbon so young.
