Bottle notes: "Vanilla
Bourbon, smooth-perhaps the ultimate compliment to pay to this aromatic and
exceptionally well-balanced Batcher's creation. We infuse Madagascar vanilla
extract and gift a vanilla bean to each bottle to invite further flavor
development as the bottle rests."
Tasting Notes: The
color is a burnished amber color. The nose elicits lovely vanilla notes, and on
the palate, the rich bourbon flavors that they are noted for come across. This
bourbon is an outstanding sipping bourbon that is very nice with a little water
to open up its notes or used in cocktail or culinary recipes.
