X-FACTOR

The judges found this to be a very stylish Bourbon — ultra balanced and refined while powerful.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of vanilla bean, baking spices, red cherry, and charred oak with supporting notes of baked apple, sultanas, and ginger biscuits. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering an oak-driven core with flavors of baking spices, dried fruits, red cherry, vanilla bean, and pecan. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a chewy texture.
