There's plenty of wood char and pencil shavings on the nose, along with dry leaves, pine needles, tea leaves, orange peel, clove, nutmeg, cedar, sandalwood, menthol, and licorice. It's chewy and, naturally, quite oak-forward in the mouth, with complex flavours of spice, dark cherry, black tea, and herbs—mint, licorice, sassafras, and cinnamon. More spice, semi-sweet chocolate, tea leaves, and well-integrated oak into the finish.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Gate Whiskey Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43872591970413,"sku":"HNBBW263","price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/kkuUrfjQ.jpg?v=1768320571"},{"product_id":"augusta-old-route-8yo-single-barrel-vintage-cherry-cola-cask-strength-bourbon-54-1","title":"Augusta Old Route 8YO Single Barrel \"Vintage Cherry Cola\" Cask Strength Bourbon 54.1%","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAugusta Distillery Won World's Best Bourbon at SFWSC 2023.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Augusta Distillery sits on the limestone banks of the small Kentucky river town for which it is named.
