Aroma- big fruity notes stand out alongside brown sugar. Just layers of sweet fruits here. One of the more fruit forward bourbons I’ve experienced on the nose. Apples, cherries, peaches, and even a berry-like jam. As it opens, more and more cinnamon red-hots starts to come forward. Picking up almost no burn whatsoever. Very impressive aroma to be honest. Hopefully taste follows suit. Taste - First thing that comes to my mind is chocolate and Fruity Pebbles. Wasn’t expecting that. Definitely not as sweet or as complex here compared to the nose. Get the typical brown sugar, vanilla, the oak profile is extremely subtle. Slight touch of apples and honey coming through on the finish with a touch of spice. Overall - Extremely easy sipper here. It’s very smooth, has great balance. solid first batch. Worth a try.
