A whiff of light, caramel and meaty aromas. Caramel continues with vanilla, cherries Tobacco smoke that you get with well aged bourbons. The finish is fantastic. Slight dry (in a good way) oak and extremely long. You still taste this bourbon minutes after you had a sip. It drinks exactly like a 65 abv whiskey. Bold, rich and a little hot. Not for the faint of heart.
