Sweet nose. Heavy vanilla and a bit of corn. Tasting starts with vanilla and opens into more sweet corn and some sort of grain. Light baking spices finish into almost a semi sweet chocolate. Overall a great bourbon. I don’t like my bourbons too sweet so this one is great. I wouldn’t say it is smooth, necessarily, but at 92 proof it’s still great. Second Balcones whiskey I’ve had and it will not be the last.
