[11.28.15] Go Bucks, beat Michigan! Bought this down at liquor barn so it was a special series 3 edition. Broke it open for a Buckeye win (10 min and counting) over that scUM. Nose is very sweet with caramel. A swirl reveals a hint of that ether alcohol I try to avoid - but hidden beneath so many layers. Taste is also sweet and salty/spicy caramels. Vanilla syrup hits you in the face, followed by stiff pepper spices that will burn at your taste buds a bunch. This needs more oak time to taste a bit less like vanilla extract and vodka. Three stars, not enough complexity to merit greater. Would be a great dessert bourbon with a birthday cake.
