Review from Breaking Bourbon:
NOSE
A very bright and expressive fruit-filled aroma bellows from the glass. Dominated by cherry, raspberries, and blueberries, the aroma is quite enjoyable and has more in common with a fruit-based cocktail than a bourbon. Past these notes lies a potent wheated grain scent that is often found in wheat beers, and gives the nose a rather odd underpinning scent. This mixture of scents works quite well in the end, and stands out for its uniqueness.
PALATE
A complex brew of cherry, orange zest at the forefront before cinnamon, nutmeg, dark brown sugar, and dark chocolate take over. It hits sweet at first, before its more robust and oak focused side quickly takes over. Equal parts dank and dusty, this bourbon tastes old, perhaps older than its age statement implies. With so many rich flavors present, it does well to allow them to stand out on their own, yet blend together into a cohesive flavor profile as well.
FINISH
Rich charred oak reigns supreme and brings with it some dryness and faint bitterness. The wheat grain once again pops up in the aftertaste and lingers. Fairly straightforward and limited in flavors, what it offers is potent aged charred oak that grounds the finish with concrete boots.
