The neck pour came out strong, blasting with potpourri. Things have calmed down a bit, but still reveal a smooth woody vanilla cinnamon/spice. Picked this up in KY - not available here, that I've ever seen (WI). I prefer more of a 'darker' profile, but this was nice, and for $40 or less this is we'll worth a try. Maybe I should do the taste test before saying this, but a sophistocated Old Grand-dad Bonded comes to mind.
