Color: Dark copper

Nose: Caramel, oaked corn, vanilla, brown sugar, and light fruits. Much more delicate than the proof.

Taste: Toasted marshmallow, cracked black pepper, milk chocolate, coffee bean, and oak. In between watery and thick.

Finish: Warm with spice and decent length. Vanilla and wood are predominate.

Thoughts: Not nearly as powerful as Stagg Jr. from the same mash bill, and more vanilla and no cherry to be seen. Probably the most delicate of the barrel proof bourbons I have come across, but very enjoyable.

Score: 85 out of 100
