Hirsch Selection The Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Tasting Notes:

Color: This is mahogany with a brown undertone.
Aroma: At first muted, this offers up a touch of warm chocolate, wildflower honey, and molasses. There’s a suggestions of toasted brown bread. As it opens in the glass, it gives off bright citrus and floral notes that evokes Szechuan peppercorns, vanilla bean paste, maple sugar candies, and an earthy note like chopped fresh button mushrooms.
Palate: This offers notes of sweet, juicy pears and graham crackers with a savory character like a pinch of tomato paste. It has fine, lingering tannins and a fiery kick.
Finish: notes of roasted green tea, puffed rice cereal, and vanilla.
