Nose: thick spice, deep caramel, luscious vanilla. Big, big, nose.
Palate: matches the nose beautifully. Full caramel, vanilla, some chocolate. All topped with a dash of cinnamon, some
cloves, and some allspice and pepper.
Full flavor bourbon. The caramel
feels more dominant to me, but man is it tasty.
Finish: tingly and peppery, a nice compliment to the
candy sweet nose and palate.
This not only supports a great cause, much more palatable
than dumping ice water on your head, but is an all time great whisky. In the words of Heaven Hill Brand Ambassador,
Bernie Lubbers, "greatest there is and there won't be another quite like
it!" This was in response to me complimenting Craig on having made this a
fantastic product, Bernie leaned over with that response and filled my
glass. This was at WhiskyFest in
Chicago. I normally only go for things that I am unfamiliar with there, but I
made my way over there, specifically for this.
Darned is it tasty. I really wish
I had bought more. This was my last sip
of my saved sample.
