On the nose is an immediate (and very expected) ethanol burn, which quickly dissipates and is followed by warm vanilla and toffee, light toasted oak and a touch of orange peel At the forefront of the palate is toasted oak and baking spices with vanilla following close behind (though not as pronounced as the nose would lead you to believe). There is slight bitter orange peel note lingering, though not unpleasant. The finish is medium-short with lingering baking spice and that touch of vanilla Impressive dram? Not necessarily; however, it makes for an easy drinker and an excellent cocktail bourbon, especially for the price! Cheers!
