The four year old bourbon is finished through what’s described as “a proprietary smoked barrel finishing process,” creating “a complex and balanced flavor” with a smokey character. The whiskey, according to official tasting notes from the distillery, holds “a tawny appearance with an aroma of toasted pecan, smoked almond and caramelized sugar, as well as notes of stone fruit, vanilla and brown sugar-glazed ham. On the palate, tastes of wood smoke and maple lead into pipe tobacco, leather, clove and oak, followed by hints of orchard fruit, corn, honey and bread.
“The long, peppery finish contains elements of warm baking spices, maple candy, black peppercorn and smoldering embers.”
