Classic bourbon Aroma of sweet candy caramel and a moment of spice. But very light. Early on the tongue it's almost oily. Finish is with some mint and menthol. Having said that the finish falls off quite a bit. Water kicks up the spice and finish. More menthol. I'd categorize this as a standard, off the shelf bourbon. Nothing to chase, but a nice bourbon to have in the glass. A touch too sweet and single note in my book
