Describing Deceptivus, Minnick also said that it tastes of “roasted corn, pine nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and sweet oats.”

“Oak surfaces for a second, then is quickly replaced by lovely brown sugar, followed by toffee and bread pudding,” he said. “This certainly is more rich and pronounced than most young bourbons with a finish of cinnamon pastry. Kudos for making one-year-old bourbon taste well beyond its year.”
