Nose is fairly light, but multi-layered. I get leather, oak, and caramelled apples. Palate is similar, adding cinnamon. Finish is dry and short, but pleasant. Normally in the high 50's, I got this on sale for $46. For the price would like it to have been 10-20 proof points higher. It would have helped the profile as well. Price aside, for a 90 proof whiskey, it is very good.
