Very buttery opening, with a tinge of spice. Cloying in a good way. Definitely wheated. Goes down smooth with a lot of butter and a short delay until you feel the heat. A good richness, not thin, without being too chewy. I want a little more subtlety, but it's pretty one dimensional. This would be a sweeter cocktail, but solo with a rock, not so bad. I've tasted better for every day (Elijah Craig, Maker's Mark), but would be welcomed by infrequent Bourbon drinkers.
