Nose: Bread, oak, vanilla, and a touch of apple. Slight ethanol, but nothing to distract from the nose. Palate: Classic bourbon flavors with a hint of sweetness. Vanilla, caramel, and oak. Finish: A warming spice. Pleasant and long. A hint of pepper with sweet vanilla and chocolate. Very balanced. Thoughts: Definitely solid! Would not hesitate to pick up another bottle if found again.
