Got a sample of this in a crazy trade where we both gave up a lot.
Nose: super sweet, red apples, slight nuttiness, vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, definitely a familiar nose of buffalo trace - like one I've smelled before, but more complex and sweeter. There's also a nose burn with this one. I think I'm getting some cherry jolly rancher on the nose too. Actually, with the spice, I'd probably say more of a cherry menthol
Palate: oh wow, why did I swallow that. that was real tasty and kept changing. ohhh yum. Definitely some spice. Cherry, definitely a burn to it, pretty oaky, vanilla.
Finish: kind of simple / disappointing after that first taste. Pretty light and short. I don't think I've had this happen before, but the finish is creamy. It's not oily, it's not dry, but it's creamy.
78 - Sure I'll take some. This smells like a wheater, but tastes kind of medicinal. It's tasty, but not worth anywhere close to the secondary prices. I'd put this among more of the unique whiskey I've had, which is cool to try something different, but wasn't my favorite. I think this would be more fun to sip around a fire with friends as you try to dissect the notes, but find you're unable to really pinpoint anything.
