No shrinking violet here; this is a big, powerful Bourbon with a finish that just won’t quit. The honey-colored spirit has a sweet, heavy caramel aroma with some deep, somber espresso notes. Look for rounded burnt-orange flavor and lots of cinnamon and nutmeg on the dry, elongated finish. Temper the alcohol sting with ice water—it’s 100 proof, after all. History buffs will love the old-school style of the bottle and label.
