Nose - sweet classic bourbon aromas of caramel, corn - nothing too robust or distinct in any particular direction Palate - sweet is the main characteristic. flavors of candy corn, some spice but not harsh at all - very smooth for a 116.8 proof, thinner mouthfeel but not unpleasant. Tastes like young bourbon Finish - medium to long, warm, satisfying Not bad for a $53 MGP product. It's a solid sipper but feels a tad young. I bet this would have the been an outstanding bourbon if it was aged longer to get a more complex portfolio of flavors from the oak
