Nose: holy oak. First sniff was very oaky. Like going into our cedar closet before we had to have it removed because of water damage. I liked that smell. Later caramel. Later the nose opened up with some sweetness.
Body: light to medium
Palate: ooh that’s good. Spicy, sweet, Carmel.
Finish: medium, sweet and smoky with a little prickle on the tongue. Very nice.
Note: another taste from 1010. Somehow I don’t have this rated. I swear I’ve had this before but maybe not… so here goes. This is a tasty bourbon. Doesn’t really stand out to me but I really like it. What’s funny is the nose is so wordy but the palate is more sweet and caramelly.
2023 update: nose caramelly. Barrel char on the palate. Little mint on the nose and palate. Its nice.
