From Bourbon Culture:
Nose: A pleasantly bright nose brings forth scents of berry cobbler, peppermint candy cane and vanilla. There are some heavier notes as well with oak, caramel and a scent that is hard to describe but comes off as “buttery leather.”
Palate: A bit hot, otherwise there are some nice berry notes that carry over from the nose. Other flavors include vanilla, snickerdoodle cookies and a touch of leather and tobacco. The Saigon cinnamon spice and some ground ginger are a bit of a wild card that sometimes makes the sip too hot and sometimes can be tucked into the background allowing the other flavors to shine through.
Finish: A little bit drying on the finish, but the high-rye mashbill makes itself known with cinnamon spice, cloves and a hint of mint. The oak becomes stronger and a bit more bitter. Overall, it seems like it’s been nicely aged but still has some rough spots.
