Here, we encounter familiar aromas: fundamental bourbon notes of intense, buttery caramel and beautiful vanilla. In addition, there are nuances of toasted oak. The slight solvent component that was noticeable in the 40% ABV version takes a back seat here. Instead, spice notes, and especially mint, are more prominent.
The difference between 40% and 45% alcohol content is truly noticeable on the palate. The bourbon remains pleasantly smooth, and sweet flavors come through much more strongly, accompanied by a truly lovely oak note.
The expected trend continues in the finish as well. There is a presence of wood, candied popcorn, and a hint of rye and mint.
