The nose hits of smoky butter. Greets the palate with caramel with a hint of cinnamon. A little rough around the edges that doesn’t reveal it all in the first sip. Finishes with a bit more spice and dissipates a bit quickly.

Flaviar dram #3:
There's not much complexity here. But so what! It has the most pleasing nose of the three in the "Bourbon Trinity" tasting box. I'm getting some nice nuttiness and vanilla on the palate which always makes me happy when tasting a new bourbon.
But like the first two, I most likely won't be buying this one as a result of the tasting. But I'm glad I was able to taste it without having to pony up for a whole bottle.
Nose is sweet, eucalyptus, slightly herbal, light fruit (apple perhaps) and a touch of cinnamon spice.
The eucalyptus and sweetness carry through to the taste with a malic acidity, vanilla, and orchard fruits drizzled with a touch of caramel.
It remains herbal through the finish balanced by the sweetness and a slight tingle of white pepper carries on for longer than you'd expect.

Batch: 77
Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes.
Color: Medium amber.
Nose: Grapes & floral notes with a hint of cinnamon.
Palate: Thin mouthfeel, more grapes.
Finish: Long but not very warm.
Overall 6/10 - Surprisingly long finish for such low (88) proof. Not very complex, but very sweet and full of grape flavor. May improve with a splash or on the rocks (not yet tried).
Edit: tried on the rocks. Very nice, still sweet with strong grapes, shorter finish.
