Nose: Cherries, Brown Sugar, Caramel, Cola, Oak, Nutmeg. Palate: Oak, Pepper, ethyl alcohol. An incredibly deceptive nose and another disappointing product from Buffalo Trace. Why this bottle of bourbon has 4 stars is beyond me. The fan base of this distillery is a cult at this point. What I hear about this bottle all the time is that "ItS GoOd FoR ThE MOnEY!" Its not good, at all, if there is an abundance of ethyl alcohol flavor in a spirit it is poorly made. Period.
