So tried this at the bar and enjoyed, but now have a bottle to do a proper review. The is not very strong, you have to try hard to pull the notes out, but those that are there are pleasant. I get creme brulee, vanilla, caramel, and a tiny bit of brown sugar. All are pretty faint though. The palate is on a different playing field however. You get an immediate splash of oak spice at the front, which then turns into caramel and baking spices mid-palate and then has a somewhat lingering finish with some heat. The mouthfeel is somewhat thin. Overall you can definitely tell this is a lower Proof pour, but I think you get more flavors from this bottle over the regular bottle of Basil Hayden.
