Nose: Light spice Pallet: Can almost get a hint of cinnamon with the char. Nothing stands out other than a good quality bourbon at a great price. Finish: Tart and a touch dry. Like it’s asking for a splash of coke. Trying to finish off some open bottles before summer comes and found this in the back of the cabinet. For $23 how can you go wrong, everything that Jim Beam has, touch more heat but a higher ratio of flavor. Michigan does not sell the 8 year double age but will have to find a bottle.
