I got a 375ml bottle at Total Wine in Albuquerque for $29.99. There's no age statement, and it's 90.4 proof. The mash bill is 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. The color in the glass is a deep copper-gold.
NOSE: Begins with a heavy (but pleasant) woody caramel note, which reminds me of Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon. Then there are vanilla, bananas, butterscotch, toasted oak, hardwood smoke (which reminds me of Balcones Brimstone smoked corn whisky, though it's not oppressive like the Brimstone), melted butter, salt water, and apples.
TASTE: Honey, lemon, a different sort of citrus which I think may be kumquats (though it's been a long time since I ate a kumquat), salt, caramel, a little oak, and cinnamon toast.
FINISH: Long, with just one note - a pleasant toasted oak. This is the only place where I really experienced any alcohol burn.
