A sweet and spicy nose, with not any one smell dominant over the next. Smells a bit sugary like toffee, but a faint hit of red fruit.
The taste is very sweet. Unlike most bourbons, I do taste a little bit of red fruit, either sweet strawberries or cherries. There is no tartness often associated with single malt whiskies featuring port or sherry casks, which also lean heavily toward red berries.
At the back of the taste is something sweeter and thicker... perhaps honey or simple syrup. Almost as if it washes away the fruitiness of the front of the taste.
That thick, sweet quality rides into the finish. Almost devoid of that initial fruity hit, now it tastes more of honey than anything.
What a bargain for such a delicious bourbon. At its price point, this is well worth a spot in your daily rotation.
