Nose: Crème Brûlée, vanilla, honey, apple, cinnamon, and oak. Palate: Honey, vanilla, cinnamon, apple, and oak. This bourbon has a buttery feel on the palate. Very easy drinking which is reflected in the proof as it also feels a bit thin. A bummer that this usually sells much higher than the price it should be. Definitely drinks in that $20-$30 range and when it is within that range it is solid.
