This high-rye bourbon has a deep, tawny hue, and a sweet scent that suggests raisins, dried figs, and vanilla. Often compared to cognac, the smooth palate shows notes of honeyed cherries, rich vanilla and oak finishing long with hints of toffee, orange peel, and baking spice. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the defining element of a decadent cocktail.
