Beneath these, whispers of dried apricot and cherry emerge, accompanied by a subtle hint of worn leather and pipe tobacco, testament to its age. A delicate floral sweetness, perhaps honeysuckle, and a whisper of baking spice, specifically cinnamon and nutmeg, round out the aromatic experience. The 'charcoal filtered' aspect suggests a clean aromatic presentation, allowing the aged complexities to shine without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is smooth and surprisingly gentle for its age, showcasing the influence of the charcoal filtration. The 86 proof delivers a pleasant warmth without overpowering the nuanced flavors. Initial sweetness of brown sugar and maple syrup quickly transitions to a robust oak presence, not tannic but rather integrated and buttery. Dark fruit notes of plum and fig intermingle with a hint of bittersweet chocolate and roasted nuts. The 'sour mash' character adds a pleasant tang and depth, preventing it from being overly sweet. There's a creamy, velvety mouthfeel that coats the palate beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is long, elegant, and contemplative. The oak gracefully fades, leaving lingering notes of dried spice, particularly allspice and black pepper. A warmth continues to spread, accompanied by a faint echo of dark fruit and a pleasing leathery, somewhat earthy complexity. The vanilla and caramel return subtly, providing a sweet counterpoint to the drier, spicier elements. The charcoal filtration likely contributes to the clean and remarkably smooth attenuation of flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe Anderson Club Distilling Company, while not among the most widely publicized giants of Kentucky bourbon, has historically focused on traditional, no-compromise distillation methods, specializing in 'Old Style Sour Mash' bourbons.
