Four Gate 7 year old Majestic Wood Series Brazilian Amburana Oak, 57.55%

This Brazilian oak-finished bourbon kicks of with a pungent nose of cracked pepper, orange peel, vanilla frosting, and a subdued licorice note. The sip dials up the baking spice notes with candied ginger, lemon, and snickerdoodle cookies layered with grassy sweetness and pungent white pepper. The finish is long and, as it draws to a close, the sweeter flavors quiet and the whiskey fades to toasted oak.
