Nose: ethanol, vanilla, brown sugar Palate: baking spices, vanilla, nutmeg, and that peanut goodness. Finish: a little ethanol, vanilla, oak, cinnamon, roasted peanuts. Good budget bourbon if you like or want to try the Jim beam peanut funk, a little heavy on the ethanol in the nose for 100 proof. Side by side the 9 year age stated is a better whiskey and was missed when the age statement went away.
