“This bourbon boasts a classic nose of vanilla bean, caramel, cinnamon, and oak, leading to a palate that is notably malty with heavy vanilla, hints of peanut butter brittle, and a consistent caramel sweetness. The finish is marked by a delightful blend of baking spices and lingers on the palate. Incredibly balanced and seemingly more mature than its age, this bourbon is perfect for those with a sweet tooth.” —James Pellingra, Skurnik Whiskey Portfolio Manager
