To complement these bold, spicy-fruity characteristics, the BCS blending team carefully selected bourbon barrels that would both harmonize with and amplify the Armagnac cask influence. The result is a bourbon that is robust yet elegant, with layers of flavors—from dried plum and dark toffee to warm vanilla—culminating in a long, lingering finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFlavor Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"caeb9Z4Lxamur2DeJiVSs-content-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe aroma deftly navigates the ground shared by both bourbon and armagnac, exhibiting strawberry rhubarb pie and candied walnuts. Chocolate peanut butter cups on the palate signal a sweetness that would be liqueur-like if not kept in check by the high proof. Of course, only a splash of water is needed to push everything into decadence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eNeat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/em\u003e Deep amber.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNose:\u003c\/em\u003e A quick burst of pineapple belies an otherwise dark and brooding nose. Potting soil, cola, and grape soda recall the finishing cask’s former contents. But a generous helping of caraway, pumpernickel, ginger beer, and menthol make sure you know you’re drinking bourbon. An array of dried fruits and various nuts coalesce into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalate:\u003c\/em\u003e Syrupy sweetness and bold spice are kept in check by some sandy tannin and the heat of its cask-strength. That residual sugar makes every flavor feel like a liqueur -- pithy orange, hazelnut, black walnut.
