Dark reddish brown color. Exotic, spicy aromas and flavors of gingerbread and spicy apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream, frosted carrot cake with black walnuts, tonka bean, and palo santo and white apple wood ash with a silky, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, layered, very long finish revealing suggestions of spicy brazil nut toffee, olive oil cake with tarragon a la mode, and sarsaparilla float. A super distinctive, intense and exotically spicy cask-finished Bourbon to savor and study on its own and in innovative cocktails.
