Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of old leather, dried red flowers, chicory, nuts, Kentucky cheroots, and cinnamon with a round, crisp, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-long finish with impressions of dark malt, landjager, and cocoa and leather. Rich, subtle, and complex on the nose and palate, this woody and spicy Whiskey will hold up beautifully in your Old Fashioned.
