Tasted at room temperature in a Norlan, no water added. The nose is the very definition of "bourbon." Vanilla, Caramel, and Oaky barrel / char. Comes off as a bit hot, but it's pure and simple Kentucky Bourbon here. The palate drilled me with hot spicy cinnamon. I didn't really get that on the nose (just a certain heat). On the palate I've lost that vanilla / caramel to some extend. It's all spice now... and the rye is showing up well too. The whiskey has good viscousity and accordingly full mouth feel with hints of plum. The finish lingers for a bit and is quite pleasant. I get more cherry, more cinnamon, and a slight return of the vanilla from the nose.
