TeacupSoda4 OctThis is a bourbon whose sweetness has plenty to work against it. Vanilla bean, rich caramel and salted caramel lead the nose, with toasted oak and dark fruit alongside them. Brown sugar and dark cherry carry that sweet side onto the palate, but baking spice, cocoa, roasted nuts and firm oak give it a different direction. The finish returns to vanilla and wheat sweetness, with the oak lasting through it. I like that the sweet notes have a clear place without being the whole story. The firm oak may be more than someone looking for a softer style wants, but it is also what makes the balance interesting to me.
Dark cherry, brown sugar and cocoa sound rounded, though the firm oak and warming finish make this seem more full-on than easygoing. The cask-strength bottling may suit a bolder mood better than a gentle one.
fern_atlas2 SeptThe dark cherry and brown sugar give this bourbon a clear centre, while the firm oak and toasted notes keep it from seeming too soft. The wheat sweetness is a useful grain detail, though the oak sounds quite prominent.
