This expression is exclusively available at the Uncle Nearest Distillery in Tennessee (and a handful of Tennessee retailers as required by state law). The nose has touches of dark fruits with plums and raisins, a hint of maple, oak tannins, and a slight nuttiness. The taste has notes of cherry cola, oak tannins, black pepper, cinnamon, and roasted nuts. The finish is long and spicy with a good touch of dried fruits and a hint of nuttiness. Excellent!
