Final Thoughts:
A bottled in bond American Single Malt? Sign me up! This is the first whiskey in this category that I have had the chance to try, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. There is a wonderfully rich and complex nose to this single malt, with aromas of grape Airheads, leather and vanilla Coke. The palate continues with similarly rich notes, except that a subtle smoke finds its way into the mix. Since opening this bottle, I continually return for another pour as the depth of flavor draws me back.
