The nose is sweet with cherry, vanilla, caramel, and oak Palate is about the same, sweet caramel and vanilla and then oak takes over. Finish is a lot of oak with a little rye spice and some lingering sweetness. Not complex by any means, but sure is tasty. The oak isn't overpowering, I think the sweetness balances it out. Traditional bourbon flavors in perfect harmony. One of my go to bourbons.
