Nose: Vanilla and spice is primarily what you smell on the nose. I Palate: light to medium mouth feel. The first thing I tasted was a strong vanilla note into a strong spice. Finish: The finish is a little more spicer than most 100 proofs would drink, but it wasn’t unbearable. Overall it’s not a complex bourbon. I think it drink within its price point but it’s nothing you will rave about. It’s a drink you sit down while watching tv with.
