Nose

This bold and intriguing bouquet leads with a smoky, savory aroma reminiscent of BBQ potato chips, complemented by bright orange zest. As the layers develop, a distinct mesquite woodiness emerges with a subtle charcoal-toasted baguette note followed by a hint of cherry cola. It's like a summer cookout was bottled up and shoved in a bottle.

Palate

The first sip echoes the bold aroma with notes ping-ponging between sweet and spicy. Rich vanilla bean and dark English porter provide a creamy, malt-driven backbone that deepens with each sip. A burst of espresso bitterness emerges, seamlessly intertwined with a subtle touch of smoldering campfire and followed by the sweetness of mandarin crème soda.

Finish

Long, viscous, and oily, this bourbon drinks bigger than its proof yet remains effortlessly approachable. The finish leaves a touch of charred oak, dark cocoa, and black pepper while providing a big old Frankfort hug.
