Sweet oak, vanilla wafer and caramel are right in my lane. The silky palate puts sweetness ahead of spice, while the warming finish brings the oak back. I’d like a little more spice, but there’s plenty here to like.

The 57.5% ABV makes this a notably high-strength bourbon, while the documented notes lean sweet and silky: vanilla wafer, caramel and sweet oak meet mild spice. I like that contrast, especially alongside the stated high-wheat character. The warming finish keeps vanilla, caramel and oak in view. It sounds like a dessert-leaning direction with enough spice to keep the sweetness from feeling one-note.

At 57.5% ABV, this is a high-strength bourbon on paper, while the notes point to a softer sweet-oak side with vanilla wafer and caramel alongside mild spice. That balance sounds appealing, though the strength is a clear part of its character.
