What critics and judges wrote
The palate is hot, dominated by sweet barrel notes of smoke, caramel and vanilla along with holiday spices of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Medium-length finish with less heat fading into a pleasant dry and spiced warmth.
Wonderfully balanced nose for a high ABV bourbon which gives drop scones, crispy pancetta, oily bacon and some syrup notes. … A spiced cola note on the finish adds depth to this.
