Proposed Profile
Nose: It opens with sour Granny Smith, salted caramel, and fruity nuances of peach sun tea. Accents of honey, cardamom, and toffee round out the bright, fruity aroma.
Palate: Starts zesty with Curacao orange liqueur and candied ginger. Green cardamom adds brightness and slight whisper of anise. It evolves into rich layers of spiced orange, pine needles, banana, and dark chocolate, with a smooth honeyed finish.
Finish: Warming and lingering, with flavors of spiced pineapple upside-down cake, cocoa, orange zest, and toffee.
The Bourbon Introspective
Description: This pour opens with a dark, rich, inviting nose that beautifully layers a mix of cherry, caramel, tobacco, cocoa nibs, and black pepper. On the palate, viscous notes of tobacco, oak, plum, dark caramel, vanilla, and sweet spice build in harmony, delivering both depth and warmth. The finish is long but presents a sweet funk that some may find captivating, though it didn’t quite hit the mark for me, ultimately hindering the overall experience of this pour.
