Hotel Tango 2 year old, 45%

Wearing its youth proudly, this bourbon kicks off with a bright nose of cherry candies, toasted sugar, black tea with lemon, and a smack of charred oak. The palate is rich and sweet with cherry cola, root beer, chocolate-chip granola bar, and plenty of brown sugar. The finish is a departure from the nose and palate and is moderately lengthy, leaning heavily on oak with a hint of cardboard.
