Hay colour looks promising, the smell is nothing surprising for bourbon, little alcohol kick on start and then sweet corn aroma. Bit of wood and caramel/butterscotch. The taste is bit letdown. Starting with rough burn slap, you need to bit shaking off to notice the classic JB/bourbony tones, nothing surprising and worth mentioning. Dilution brings out the flavour a bit, smooth the viscosity, make caramel to butterscotch taste and mouthfeel. Brings out some ripe apple, bit of spices. Still, the ABV only gives you extra burn, if you're into it. You need few drops of water to bring out the tastes. I believe there are more interesting bottles with similar price tag. With more outstanding flavours, because this is rather dull.
