Nose presented rich, leathery oak, vanilla, and caramel. The body was similarly rich and sweet with vanilla, caramel, and oak. It was complex, robust, full-bodied, and flavorful, with smoky and toasted notes. The mouthfeel was velvety and silky, leading to a finish that was smooth with oak, vanilla, caramel, and a butterscotch-like toasted smokiness.

Some warmth, but not excessive. Notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla. Good aroma, with a finish featuring some spice, like pepper. Also buttery, a great bourbon.
Smells like old papers and damp cardboard. Cloyingly sweet. The finish has a musty cardboard character.
Cinnamon and peppery. A pleasant finish that lingers. I truly enjoy this Bourbon.
Quite good. It's not as young or harsh as I had anticipated.
A clean, smooth finish with just a whisper of heat.
