Nice value whiskey to start this off and set expectations. Nose for me is pretty much dominated by ethanol with a bit of cinnamon and baking spice. Palate is hard to figure but for what I assume is young bourbon about what you expect hints of fruit,grain and spice. Finish strong licorice a hint of anise and lingers a hit with not a lot of burn. Not bad for what it is. Tried multiple times neat but this was with 2 drops of water
