Nose: honey, pear, Golden delicious apple, light vanilla and oily orange citrus, an almost minty like clove perhaps?, the light brown sugar and cherry essence of the bourbon cask comes through nicely on the backside with a gentle nosing and after it sits for a moment, carries a wispy light perfumy floral note (carnations, rose, etc,) on the end of those bourbon qualities, not an overly complicated nose but pleasant enough. Taste: sweet honey and crisp orchard fruits, bourbon makes it’s presence known but in a complimentary way and not dominating, barrel spices, nice light ashy finish, medium in length. Not bad considering this is a budget friendly contribution from Trader Joe’s.
