Strong nose with honey and some citrus. Maybe a little vanilla as well. A sweeter aroma. Pleasant on the nose. Neat it hits the tip of the tongue and lingers on the sides as well. Warming. No burn going down. Flavor seems to fade faster than I would like. Solid taste but not extremely memorable. Some of that sweetness hits the room of the mouth. Flavor intensifies over ice. My preferred way to drink this particular bourbon.
