This bottle was generously given to me by @tbran19 thank you!! Nose: faint cherry, typical oak, sweet vanilla Palate: cherry is definitely here with brown sugar, has a nutty characteristic that reminds me of a candied pecan. Definitely has some rye spice with a nice warming Kentucky hug. Finish: initial finish is black pepper but fades to more brown sugar with baking spices To me this is a no brainier buy it if you see it. The UU is a whole other level, but this is certainly worth the price.
