Brown butter, vanilla and molasses on the nose give way to summer fruit and exotic spice on the palate, while the long, warming finish sounds composed rather than simply forceful. That mix of sweetness and spice gives this cask-strength bourbon character without relying on age or strength alone to make the case.
