I think Amanda got it right. Nosing reveals typical sweet scents of vanilla, a bit of Maple, honey, light caramel and wood. Holding it on the tongue it is quite sweet with similar flavors revealed if you can hold it long enough, even the magic coconut. Upon swallow the spice is very nice, typically on the outer edges of the tongue and a slight burn to the throat. At 90.4 proof, this is a toss it down whiskey, if one were of a mind to do so, which I rarely ever do. Just seems a waste of good flavor. But people drink in different ways and for different reasons. I really like easy drinkin' Bourbons like this and will be searching for other Belle Meade whiskeys for sure. Next up the Sherry cask.
