Nose: caramel, a light rye, a mintiness, pie crust Body: medium Palate: caramel, vanilla, light rye Finish: medium to long, caramel and a puff of smoke. Very nice. Note: ive always thought this is arguably the best value bourbon out there. Nosed, tasted, made notes then ate a cholocate chip caramel coolie and kept tasting. Nose and finish are great palate is good. Great great value.
