Nose: Really nice. I was excited to taste it based on the nose alone. Sweet cherries and vanilla with some caramel corn. Smelled like it would be a fruit- heavy, sweet bourbon. Not so much. Corn and plastic. That’s all I could pull out. Corn and plastic with some heat. I was in a nice restaurant, drinking it neat out of a nice heavy glass, before food. Yet, corn and plastic (heavy on the plastic). So disappointed. Added a couple of drops of water. Made it less-spicy corn and plastic. Kept sniffing, trying to reconcile the two, to no avail. It does have a decently long finish, which is great when the finish isn’t, you know, corn and plastic. Couldn’t finish, and I HATE not finishing the bourbon I pay for.
