Nose: kettle corn, vanilla, coffee, apple, nutty I get some apricots and a slight spicy, herbal note after the first sip also. Palate: buttery mouthfeel with sweet caramel, oak, baking spices, corn flakes, and red berries on the back Finish: medium to long, oak and spice. Fruit, vanilla and tobacco finish it out with a little Kentucky hug. This has an excellent nose that especially appeals to me. A classic bourbon palate with a nice long finish. A great mid proof bourbon at a great price.
