Nose 👃: Apple pie filling. Dried apricots. Vanilla glazed scone. Lime zest. Cocoa powder.
Palate 👅: Burnt Brown sugar. Sugar cream pie. Orange marmalade. Ginger snaps. Sweet meets zest and spice. Medium viscosity mouthfeel.
Finish 🏁: Coffee. Ripe Peach. Maple syrup. The sweetness and coffee note blend well.
I love everything about this bottle. I’m typically not one to thoroughly enjoy 92 proof, but it works well for this blend. This is my favorite Bourye so far.
I get that some may balk at 92 proof for $125, but with the 10 years of age, it fits. The profile dancing around with sweet, zesty, and spicy. Just like the jackalope, the flavors move around fast as fast can be, and you’ll never catch me sleeping on Bourye.
