Tumblin’ Dice 11 year old Straight Bourbon

Some whiskies reveal their maturity with just one whiff and this is one of them with notes of varnish and mothballs along with cooked dark fruits—cherries blackberries blueberries—sassafras root beer and rich spices. More maturity is revealed on the palate which is tannic but not dry and viscous showing off blackberry cobbler brandied cherries pecans roasted peanuts cracked pepper and ginger. An excellent lengthy finish that draws out the fruity rich spice and practically demands a cigar.
