Very delighted with this considering it was only $23. Nose: Gingerbread cookies, brown sugar and cinnamon. Palate: Much of the same however..after having one dram, I went in for another smell as the lingering taste was chocolate covered cherry. Sure enough..once I smelled it again..all I could smell was chocolate covered cherries. I also had my wife smell it and she confirmed a strong chocolate smell with some accents of cherry. Very good bourbon
