Right off the bat, I got big molasses on the nose; Sweet, rich and oily on the palate; Oak on the finish. Very smooth and easy sipper. Added 11/19/22: Like many bourbons, tastes evolve over time and subsequent pours. I'm getting lots of cinnamon and pepper on the palate tonight. Nice! Purchased another bottle. Added 7/14/23: Big dose of cherry cough syrup on the palate tonight.
