A Happy Warrior
"Very approachable given its Cask Strength. The nose is distinctly floral, a little iris & jasmine are what I could pick up. There is a faint-toasted sweetness as well, almost sugary. The palate isn't overly complex, though incredibly smooth. Nice warming notes of vanilla, caramel, slice of cinnamon buttered toast, & light citrus tones. The finish is just delightfully warming oak spices, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This reminded me an awful lot of Knob's Creek, Four Roses, and Angel's Envy. If you enjoy any of those, I'd strongly recommend you try Rough Rider. The only thing rough about it is you don't want to stop pouring, and potentially your early morning. Cheers to y'all you Happy Warriors out there!"
