The prior comments had me apprehensive, but this is genuinely good... While I'm not fond of long, spicy finishes, I wouldn't describe this as such. I never understood descriptions of leather in smells or tastes until now. This smells precisely like the interior of a new car, and it has a sweet flavor with a subtly toasted finish. It lingers but isn't overpowering. A great pour!!
The aroma has notes of vanilla, orange, and cinnamon, with a touch of oak. The taste features stronger oak balanced nicely by sweet orange and some spice from the alcohol content. A fantastic, full bourbon flavor. This is how it ought to taste...
Nose: Aged Hide, Woody Notes Palate: Deep Caramel, Embers, Sugary Wood, Aromatic Zing Finish: Pleasant for its potency, traces of wood and Sweet Bean
Aroma: Butterscotch, Caramel, Vanilla Taste: Sweet, Clove, Spice Finish: Long, peppery, smooth
Okay taste with a bit of heat. A bit pricey for what is an average bourbon.
Nose is quite hot. Cherry and nutmeg notes precede a smooth finish.
