This distillery is located in Frankfort, Kentucky, in the heart of Bourbon country. Our panel's tasting note: Honeyed golden colour with classic Bourbon aromas of caramel, new leather, clove, tangerine and peach. Slight sweetness is beautifully balanced by a spicy tone. The long finish leaves a fine warm glow. Surprisingly complex for an 8 year old. (Mar. 2001) Price $ 24.95
