Nose: Mustard seeds, fresh sliced leeks, canned peaches, beeswax, orange blossom honey

Palate: Ubiquitous sweetness, cardboard / scotch tape, mineral oil, subtle hints of the fruit break through from the nose. Graham crackers and vanilla wafers. A nice mouthfeel for the abv, that fades into a lackluster finish.

Rating: 6 / 10 – Super solid and enjoyable example of bourbon cask aging. No frills, not much in the way of complexity, nothing fancy here, just an enjoyable drink.
