Review Summary:
East Meets West with this first-of-its-kind bourbon that melds Kentucky distilling tradition and Japanese blending expertise. It has an amazingly forward citrus note akin to orange oil and lemon zest. Distinct floral notes (spring blossoms?), some chocolate, pine, and even herbal (cilantro, maybe?) components are also present. The more typical sultana, treacle, and toasted nuts also appear. In the mouth it is rich and super smooth, with citrus fruit (orange peel again), mild spice, and suggestions of fruitcake and caramel. Long and beautifully structured, belying its 47 per cent AVB octane. A very unique addition to the bourbon world. (BTW, pronounced lee-gent.)
