Nose: I get the typical oak and vanilla but with a hint of allspice and cinnamon. Taste: Very rye forward. Continues with allspice, clove, molasses and a hint of cinnamon. Finish: Rye and cinnamon again with a pleasant bitter oaky finish. Overall I give it a 3.5 out of 5. A well done bourbon, not anything incredible or exciting but an easy to drink whiskey that you can find most anywhere. It is a typical buy for me when I want to mix up my go to. I drink it straight but it does well at being a mixer. Would recommend.
