Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. ~ Heaven Hill Distillery

COLOR: Warm, deep leather. AROMA: Aged oak, spiced vanilla, with notes of mint and chocolate. TASTE: Richly textured, nutty, and semisweet. Initial bursts of honey give way to toasted wood and pleasant char. FINISH: Lively and engaging, then lingers with vanilla and pepper. Vanilla fudge, honey, and orchard fruits, such as cherries, flood your senses. The nose on this bourbon is invigorating and swirls with complexity.
