Tasting Notes from the Distillery On the Bourbons: 

Nose: Intense notes of Demerara sugar, plum pudding, rich Austrian Sachertorte with apricot jam, and dark chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Palate: Notes of dark dried fruit with sweeping waves of cherry cobbler with a buttery cinnamon-biscuit crust, moving towards a good balance of rum raisin ice cream, prunes in syrup, chocolate-covered orange peels, nutty marzipan, croissants with honey butter, and a whisper of smokey barrel char.

Finish: Long and luscious with excellent balance between the candied citrus and dark fruit, molasses, dark chocolate, buttery and nutty notes, and brown baking spices with a final big “Wyoming bear hug.”
