Pearson's Notes

Deep amber in color. It has clearly picked up some color from its time in the port casks. The nose has some extraordinary spice and depth with cinnamon, clove, and oak. There are very subtle cherry and vanilla notes underneath the spice that makes this bourbon amazingly inviting. The entry is packed with flavor that balances spice, sweet and heat with cinnamon, oak, vanilla, and cherry notes all coming together perfectly. Things build evenly from the entry to the mid palate with a superb balance of grain, wood, and fruit flavors. The finish is fairly long with the heat transforming to a nice cool mouthfeel and the sweet cherry and spice lingering on. This is the kind of whiskey that gets better and better as you drink through it, and it's very difficult to drink just one glass.
