Nose is heavy caramel, butterscotch, dark chocolate, and nut. Almost smells oily (if that makes sense). Palate is very spicy upfront, I get heavy notes of dark cherry, heavily charred butterscotch, semi-sweet chocolate, and intense oak. Palate is also both oily and creamy. Love this, don’t understand the hate for Jim Bean products. I got the common peanut note on the nose but it’s nowhere to be found on the palate. Drinks lower than it’s proof.
