January 10, 2021 (edited July 19, 2021)
Nose - (w/o water) Oaky vanilla, caramel, charred cinnamon, hint of cherry twizzler, toffee (w/ water) not much change
Taste - (w/o water) Bit hot, numbing mouthfeel, buttery vanilla caramel, hint of sweet cherries, gentle cinnamon (w/ water) Greatly reduced heat, slightly more fruit, not as buttery mouthfeel
Finish - (w/o water) Lingering hot cinnamon spice, buttery vanilla caramel (w/ water) Reduced spice, cinnamon caramel
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - This was a good overall bourbon, bit hot as expected, but handled a bit of water quite well. Standard flavor profile, nothing too extreme one way or another. I think it'd be a bit hard to peg this as a wheated bourbon unless you added a bit of water, & that's where I get that nice softer mouthfeel. Otherwise, it was good, nothing off putting, standard "bourbon" profile but nothing complex or amazing about it.
