Appearance: mahogany/burnt amber color Aroma: slight vanilla bean, quite a bit of burn on the nose. Splash of water brings out notes better. Caramel after water was added. Cherry notes as well. Oak forward, definitely a corn alcohol Palate: typical maker’s palate with slight more kick. With added water cuts down the heat, and oak really shines through. Very corn forward with that slight vanilla undertone. Finish: sweetness remained on lips afterward. Oak finish, not much of the vanilla or undertones remain other than oak. Typical maker’s product with more heat. Classic bourbon
