Score: 94 Nose: Stone fruit, crushed fruit (raspberries, cherries), beautiful sweet sugary notes, touch of lemon. The caramel notes take a back-seat (for a bourbon), but they’re beautiful. Dusty notes. Palate: Wonderful hit of flavor, crushed citrus, brown sugar sweetness, great oak spice. The finish is fantastic. The flavors hit the palate hard. Crushed fruit carries through from front to back, and the transition from sweetness to spice, to dry sweet (think vermouth) finish is really quite incredible. Nice licorice elements.
