Oh man, this Mayor Pingree bourbon (batch 14) from Valentine has such a wonderfully sweet nose. Caramelly sweet with maybe a hint of cherry and maybe even a little creme brule. On the palate is more sweet, creamy cherry notes. The rye spice comes in late and weak. It's surprisingly oily for a 94 proof bottle. I really like this one... I kind of regret waiting so long to try it.
