Tasting notes highlight a nose of chocolate cream pie, vanilla, sweet pipe tobacco, and dried fruits like raisins and cherries. The palate features a burst of spices—cinnamon, chili oil, and peppercorns—balanced by oak tannins, brown sugar, crème brûlée, and fruity notes such as dates, sugarplums, and orange flesh. The finish is long and rich, with lingering flavors of cedar, oak spice, caramel, chocolate, and vanilla​.

The scent combines vanilla wafer and ginger cookie with dried peaches, while the flavor brings in elements of old leather, adding a hoary character that complements the bourbon’s sweetness. The finish reveals a nutty character as the leathery, woody notes linger​.
