Nose: caramel, honey, corn flakes, oak char, berries, and cocoa. After the first sip i picked up vanilla, and a nutty browned butter aroma. Taste: sweet caramel, oak, cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, pecans, barrel char Finish: long and viscous. Spicy oak, vanilla, tobacco, leather, pie dough and cherries. This is my first ECBP and i can see why its so popular. Its so well balanced and has an beautiful mouthfeel, and finishes with a long Kentucky hug. One of my all time favorite bourbons.
