Nose is so sweet it's amazing. Sents of sweet caramel and burnt sugar along with an underlying leather. Vanilla as well. Palet is sweet again with vanilla and gingerbread cookies and baking spices. Nice medium long finish. It gets dogged on to some degree but it is honestly great for $50. Very similar qualities to Pappy 15 as well which makes sense given it's half of poor man's Pappy. So glad I'm in an area where we can get this often.
