Very spicy cinnamon sugar notes on the nose with a beautiful strong aroma. Tasty spiky maple body on the first sip that lingers long after it goes down. More of a high rye kind of sting vs a uncomfortable ethanol burn. Really nice maple sugar body with a cinnamon burn to finish and hints of barrel notes at the very end. This bourbon is right up my alley taste wise and the story behind it makes it even cooler and more enjoyable.
