The nose is pretty soft with caramel and a bit of gingerbread and immediately it drops off on the taste with a watered down taste and then slightly picks back up with some caramel that is a bit brighter than the nose. The finish is short and all charred caramel. Very one noted. If you can't find this, don't worry because, you're not missing anything. If it was priced at like $25 and readily available it would be good to introduce someone to bourbon with this.
