The nose comes off sweet and delicate with caramel as the dominate note. It drinks much spicier than the nose would lead you to believe. Initial taste is vanilla and brown sugar then, mid palate I'm getting a dry note note, specifically flour. Finish to me had a good amount of spice for a wheated bourbon but not so much that it turns me off. Finish was fast to medium. I don't get any chocolate flavors as the expert reviewer did This was enjoyed neat as all bourbon should.
