Tastes

The nose is very fruity; I definitely smell some mango and peach, as well as vanilla and a hint of maple. The maple and vanilla lasts through the taste with some spicy cinnamon on the backside. Finish in particular is very rich and spicy. Rookies beware: at 120 proof this will bite you, but the bite is much less than most 110+ proofs I've had.

Ive never been a fan and my recent re-tasting reminded me why. It tastes cheap, has a chemical-tasting finish, and burns more than any other ~100 proof bourbon i have had outside of Fighting Cock. Spend the extra $5 and get Buffalo Trace instead.
