On the nose: all the usual suspects of bourbon; cherry, vanilla sweet like caramel and candy floss, a very slightly smokey wood and something fresh like mint or eucalyptus. Also a slight waxyness. Nice. Taste: thick oily palate, strawberry sweets sweetness, vanilla and cherry again but also orange rind and a bitter pear. Plus an obligatory proof punch! Finish, the taste fades away to leave nothing but the coolness of your breath on your freshly burned throat.
