Nose: peanuts, peanut brittle. Palate: Slightly sweet, slight spice and smoke, peanut brittle returns, leather. Finish: minimal burn, short finish with some spice and a late introduction of tobacco. Not a very complex bourbon. Just misses the "excellent" mark, but is still very good. A decent sipper. It will be interesting to see how subsequent pours pan out. I might buy again, depending.
