“Well he’s on to his second bottle and still loves it, not my taste but bought as a gift. ”

Description
Black & Gold is a particularly snazzy bourbon which has enjoyed 11 years of maturation, allowing it to develop a rewarding, complex and overall excellent flavour profile. It was aged in slowly-charred barrels, and it was that charring that helped to introduce brilliantly bold notes of brown sugar, decadent vanilla and rich cigar box. As the bottle says, "Fire made it good". The casks were hand-selected, and it's fairly clear why they were picked - this bourbon is spectacular indeed. The bottle also happens to be incredibly handsome too, which is always a bonus.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Dense vanilla, toasted brown sugar atop apple pie, gingersnaps and cinnamon sticks.
Palate
Caramelised nuts, cask char leading to earthy cigar box and vanilla pod, with a touch of maple syrup hiding in there too.
Finish
Lasting oak and forest floor richness, well-balanced by toffee and chocolate sweetness.
