Pretty strong with a sharp bite. Not really for those who are just getting started in aged spirits but a good example of the better tenants of small batch bourbon for a reletively reasonable price

- Chemistry is life
- Color
- Medium amber, a similar color to grade A maple syrup
- Nose
- Honey, slightly earthy, orange, toasted oat
- Body
- Well bodied, neither too heavy or too light
- Palate
- Sel Gris, lemon, butter, slightly peaty, peach, almond, caramel (but more like dulce de leche)
- Finish
- Spicy and warm with a good strong shot that makes you shiver as it goes down. There is a slight bitterness which contrasts well with the richness of the body
Very smooth and pleasant on a cold night just before bed. It has a very warm aroma of apricot and honey

Nice, but a bit too sharp on the finish. I wouldn't refuse a glass but I won't be paying for another bottle
