Well this was pleasant surprise. Full rich smell, honey, oak, pinch of pine forest. Just lovely with very small amount of alcohol, which is for 50 ABV surprising. The taste - first is velvety smoothness. Like caramel toned full fat milk, then it comes with very pleasant burn - like when fireplace starts to burn, not like spilled gasoline catching fire kind of some other liquors. And that brings more flavours (and smells). High cocoa milk chocolate, walnuts, peanut butter, hint of orange zest. It's very nice overal taste. The end is which I love about bourbon - the acidity. Very refined one. This is well balanced, super tasteful, beautiful bourbon. I dare to say, in my county one of the best price/performance ratios there. I don't really know why some folks here compare it to rubbing alcohol (they should really taste it, for the experience). And those who wants something sweeter and more mellow should turn they rudder towards rums instead. Yeah, there is plenty better ones for many reasons, but ten times more worse ones for much fewer reasons.
