First tasting and I believe my palette to be pretty sideways today. Lighter red amber with legs that take a long time to form if ever. The glass just seems to stay slick with little short runs forming at the top. Nose is a nice quintessential bourbon with nothing standing out except to let you know you are nosing bourbon. The flavor is artfully done and still nothing stands out to me at this time except to be decidedly bourbon. Long lasting flavor with lingering notes of spice and a good mix of oily and drying from the high proof
