The nose is sweet and vanilla, classic bourbon aroma. Some cinnamon, and the port barrel finish is noticeable with a light red wine aroma. This whisky seem to coat the whole mouth and has an overall oily feel. It is rich, and there is a nice balance of sweetness and some spice. The Finish is warm and full, and the port barrels shine through again. Overall very similar to other bourbons at the price point, and even a bit less. The port barrel finish stands out and it is a very full bodied whisky.
