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.
Dense vanilla, toasted brown sugar atop apple pie, gingersnaps and cinnamon sticks.
Caramelised nuts, cask char leading to earthy cigar box and vanilla pod, with a touch of maple syrup hiding in there too.
Lasting oak and forest floor richness, well-balanced by toffee and chocolate sweetness.

More flavour and depth than other bourbons that are sub £100. But, still a bourbon. Easy to sip, yet lot's of flavour.
Age statement told me to try it and it deliver big time. I agree with the tasting notes of MOM.
A top Bourbon . My third bottle . Can’t get enough of it.
Wonderful. Good rich punchy flavour, like a buttery fruitcake. Hits the pallet and not the throat which is great. Really nice sipper. Smooth as a silk sock!
This bourbon really stands out. All the complexities you want on the palate but so, so smooth. Bought a bottle for my husbands birthday and now we’re going to make it our go to.
