Aged in a bourbon barrel. The tannins but with a Kentucky butt. Astonishingly and intriguingly, there is also a theme of every soft drink in the state other than Ale 8. Big, fat, and maxes out the chocolate and liquorice lead. The spices are lazy and instead make way for a buttery sub-plot. A very curious fade of sarsaparilla and root beer mix.  The chocolate holds its ground. Well it certainly goes Kentucky, but for the finish not in the way you’d expect. That said, what a great entertainer this whisky is.
