Tasting Notes: The extra aging condenses this bourbon into something more expressive and complete. The nose opens with warm oak and lifted spice. Immediately pulling in orange zest before settling into cherry cordial and blackberry cobbler. Give it time, and it leans richer. Maple sweetness folds into black tea and ginger syrup. A deeper cherry note, with hints of peach cobbler, begins to come through.
The palate carries those same notes forward. Vibrant stone fruit leads to cherry and blackberry. This is layered with that same peach cobbler richness from the nose. Biscoff cookie spice, and soft honeysuckle sweetness. The oak shows slightly more here. But that is to be expected for a bourbon this age. Not overpowering but structured, amplifying both the sweetness and a subtle herbal edge. The finish is long and evolving, with honeyed fruit, pipe tobacco, and black tea stretching out. It closes on a wave of oak spice and lingering stone fruit.
