Nose of rich caramel and butterscotch. With corn bread, cherries, and bananas, and finally a nice helping of oak. Enjoyable. Palate is more of the same, sweet caramel and vanilla and corn bread, again with that banana taste. Oak carries the finish. It's s a little spicy, but not too much, and is accompanied by a cherry sweetness. It took me a while to write this review. I had a hard time describing what I was tasting. However, I knew from the first sip that this bourbon was amazing. Highly recommend.
