Amber color. Aromas and flavors of tanning leather and bubble gum, kola nut and baked pineapple pastries, sesame candies and candied watermelon seeds, and milk chocolate and cigar box with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, subtle, medium-length finish with touches of caramel and earl grey tea, kola nut, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, toasted multigrain bread, and roasted almonds and sassafras root. Complex layers of delicate flavors; a damn fine sipping Bourbon with a restraint of flavor intensity that discourages one from mixing this gem.

Blended Straight Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies with an added allowance to contain coloring and/or flavoring, something that is not traditionally allowed in the straight bourbon category. In addition to this allowance, a Blended Straight Bourbon's components do not need to be distilled in the same state as one another.
