Tastes

$110. Nose: cool, candied fruit. Taste: starts with a slight spice, but quickly finds its sweet and ultra-smooth finish with minimal burn. Overall, this is very good whisky, but maybe a touch too soft for me.

$38. Nose: mild and sweet like catching vanilla extract from a distance. Taste: cinnamon red hots, but not as a hot as reading "100 proof" prepares you for. Finish: Smoother than expected, almost sweet with a nice warmth. Overall, an excellent bourbon for the cost; my anytime bourbon.
