The nose features sweet spiced oak and dusty wheat. It has a viscous and silky texture. There's the signature nutty note from Heaven Hill. Wheat sugar, light caramel, muddled fruit, and candy oak spice are present. The finish is slightly drying with a medium warmth. Not outstanding, but a very good pour comparable to the HH barrel proof releases. I anticipate the bottle will open up with time.
