"The high alcohol content shows itself mostly on the nose and in the finish. Knock it down with water to get caramel and clove, mint and citrus. Thre is nothing unusual here, no sudden burst of chomomile, just Bourbon flavours at high volume and in ideal balance."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep coppery-amber with sunlit honey-gold highlights.
Nose
Bold, warming nose with caramel and vanilla over toasted oak. A confident spice thread—clove and baking spice—lifts with mint and citrus zest. The high ABV leaves a crisp brightness, and with a touch of water the bouquet relaxes to reveal caramel sweetness, clove, mint and citrus in balanced harmony.
Palate
Bold and full-bodied, with caramel and toffee sweetness backed by vanilla and clove spice. Mint and citrus lend a fresh lift mid-palate, while the finish remains long, warming, and impeccably balanced at high bourbon intensity.
Finish
Long, warming finish that bears the high ABV with confident grace. Caramel sweetness stretches into spicy clove, mint and citrus zest, lingering in a balanced, expansive fade. No abrupt notes—just high-volume bourbon flavour settling into velvet equilibrium.
