Tasting Notes
This bourbon presents a deep mahogany appearance in the glass, signaling its lengthy 12-year aging and intensive cask finish. On the nose, it opens with bright aromas of dark chocolate and espresso, complemented by a hint of toasted hazelnut and dried cherry. The palate reveals smooth layers of crème brûlée and black pepper, highlighted by a gentle, natural spiciness from the French oak that enhances the senses without overwhelming the agave-like sweetness of the grain. The texture remains rich and viscous, allowing the spirit’s core caramel and vanilla notes to shine through a veil of cedar and spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a mild warmth and a trace of cocoa powder that enhances its overall complexity.
