Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, showcasing classic bourbon sweetness with notes of vanilla bean and caramel chews. Subtle hints of dried apricot and toasted oak emerge, rounded out by a faint wisp of charcoal smoke, suggesting its filtration process.

Palate: The palate is surprisingly smooth and approachable, a testament to its age and proof. Initial flavors of sweet corn and butterscotch lead into a mid-palate of soft baking spices – cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg. A delicate fruitiness, perhaps ripe pear, intermingles with a pleasant oak influence that avoids bitterness, contributing to its 'superfine quality'.

Finish: The finish is medium in length, clean and satisfying. It leaves a lingering warmth with echoes of vanilla and a faint, dry oak tannin. The charcoal filtration seems to contribute to a remarkably smooth and muted spice, ensuring a gentle conclusion.
