88 / 100
The appeal here is the meeting of sweet fruit and caramel with a firmer thread of rye spice, oak and dark chocolate. Apricot appears on both nose and palate, while the finish is described as long and warm, with clove and mint adding a different edge. That gives this Kentucky bourbon a layered character without losing its clear, familiar sweetness. The New American Oak Cask is stated, though the information does not specify a maturation sequence.
