Photo ©2017, Mark Gillespie/CaskStrength Media.This South Carolina Bourbon is finished in Madeira wine barrels, and the nose has notes of roasted corn, grilled peaches, dried apricots, a touch of plums, and hints of honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. The taste has a touch of burned popcorn along with grilled fruits, a touch of smoke, pipe tobacco, plums, and honey. The finish lingers nicely with touches of grilled fruits. (September, 2017)
