Nose: heavy caramel. Very sweet too. Rich syrupy Palate: lots and lots of cinnamon. Not super sweet. Rich in flavor but almost like a rye, except you get corn. You can tell how young it is. Finish: spicy finish and hot. Overall: young and high proof. Could be better if aged I think. I love the color though, Super super dark (due to Texas). 123.2 proof and 3 years old at $150. It was a gift to me but honestly I wouldn’t pay a dime over $30 for this. It’s just way too young and no depth. Rating this on price btw
