Neck pour, neat. Leather and apple nose with some heat and a hint of peanuts and caramel. Taste starts with vanilla and apple, but then all the toasted seasonal spices kick in (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, allspice) and stick around through the clean medium-long finish. Full bodied with a cascading hug. Unironically, this is a proper pumpkin spice bourbon. A drop of water didn’t bring out new notes, but the taste got more crisp and the finish rounded out some. Very enjoyable sipper.
