Nose: Orange zest, cinnamon, leather and a little vanilla. Palate: More cinnamon with dark fruits, tobacco and leather Finish: Long leathery, oaky spice. Hangs a while but it never over bearing. My bottle is aged 7 years, 9 months and 138.1 proof. Let it sit for a while and the ethanol comes off the nose. Best $100 bourbon I've ever bought.
