Rowan's Creek Bourbon

Nose: The dominant impression is of burnt (ashy) dark caramel with a sturdy minty accent of rye. With repeated breathing you can spot supporting elements of oak smoothened by banana (acetone) and vanilla.

Palate: Big brown syrup moistens the mouth..., with a brief trail of pepper & ash, until mounds of luscious vanilla surge in. But these can't forever disguise that fragrant minty rye-like tone, which eventually expresses its spice more like wood chips.

Finish: Vanilla comes back; becomes minty rye and oak, lasting long with a smidgen of citrus sourness.

Great balance and character, especially if you like that rye effect (in general, mint does not especially call to me). The flavors are bold and tasty-- and without a disturbance of sour or bitter (until the late finish). To repeat: balanced yet with character.
