ABV: 37%
Tasting note: Less focus on the confectionary and what tastes like a judicious injection of rye has added no end of vibrancy and respectability to what was a previously infantile affair. Some lovely honeycomb and cocoa moments too. 37% Alc./Vol.
First tasted 30/09/2010 Bright, deep gold colour. The moderate aromatics are confectionary-like revealing banana lolly, bubblegum and vanilla bean followed by the faintest whiff of charry oak. The aromas follow onto the palate which is straightforward, medium bodied, semi sweet and a little flabby but balanced by a mild spicy flourish. Soft warming spirit. Spicy vanillan oak and confectionary aftertaste. An inoffensive, simple, sweet styled mixing Bourbon. 37% Alc./Vol. 84 points
