Batch 25 Nose: very light, faint red apples. Not getting much of anything else Taste: vanilla and much better spice than the straight. Rounds out nicely on the side and the spice hours on the front. Spice doesn’t linger long but much more than the straight. Has room for growth, lacks complexity. Overall: love this and would pick it a 100 times over the straight bourbon. Flavor is defiantly not a sweet profile but a more smoky and I would keep that in mind for anyone wanting to try these.
