Kentucky- This bourbon has a subtle aroma of fresh fruit and a taste that includes hints of dried apricot, ripe pear, and a sweet roasted grain. The finish has notes of charred oak and warm winter spices.

An extremely expressive nose of baked apricot, candy plum, and nougat candy lead the way to this rich, but even-textured bourbon. Hints of wheat grain make for a dense, sweet-tasting profile that exits with a refined class. - 2016 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE
Top 100 Spirits of 2023. There's no age statement on the label; that's intentional. The lore of this liquid is that it includes a small amount of the last bourbon ever produced at the iconic Stitzel-Weller distillery, which closed in 1992. (Diageo re-opened it in 2014.) This blend of straight bourbons offers vanilla on nose and palate, leading into almond and a hint of dried apricot. The finish is lively and relatively dry, with grapefruit peel, leather and chamomile tea. Overall, it's a light-handed and pleasing take, regardless of how much (or little) old/rare distillate is actually in the glass.
