Nose

Pretty strong with a good deal of fresh oak. Roasted vanilla beans. Hints of orange liqueur combined with a fruity touch. Coconut and honey. Then the oak comes back again.

Taste

Dry and pretty strong. Honeyed almonds paired with dried berries. A considerable amount of spicy oak before some very delicate saltiness kicks in.

Finish

Long with a lot of oaky dryness. Hints of cacao. A salty tingle on the tongue.

Overall

A truly well-aged and rich bourbon with a distinctive salty touch. Very pleasant and delightful. Bold like an eagle!

Score: 89 / 100
