N: Dried corn, dried green apple, brown sugar. There's some wheaty and herbal notes. There's also something like a faint wet dog smell, which I actually don't hate - it's subtle enough. Chalky mineral notes. The overall effect is vaguely medicinal.
P: Rich sweet corn, caramel, toffee, vanilla. Sweet oak filters in mid-palate. Touch of leather and cigar smoke. Dash of dried red fruit. Finish is sweet - that corn just carries through the whole taste - and also a bit hot with oaky cinnamon and maybe a dash of ginger.
Pretty unique BIB that throws a few curveballs into the traditional bourbon profile. Super solid bottle that feels and drinks like good quality. Good VFM. Easy to recommend this.
