Nose - sweet aroma, grain with predominant orange notes, oak notes Palate - thin, muted, citrus and somewhat nutty with more spice than expected for 80 proof bourbon, hint of oak Finish - muted spices, short to medium Easy sipping but was not impressed by flavor. Poor value for $50. Would not reach for this bottle again. Will hopefully be able to find a place for this with cocktails / share with beginner whiskey drinkers
