Nose- sweet corn, caramel, pecan, and slight ethanol Palate- a bit too much ethanol reveals that this is a young high proof. There is some green banana, vanilla, and pecan cluster. Not horrible, but could be better with age. Comes in a bit too hot. Finish- young oak, almost wood shop. Overall- not what I had hoped for. I loved the bottled in bond, and was hoping for this to be more of the same but more rich. Instead I just got more alcohol bite. It is not a total failure, but it is hot, tastes young. I prefer the early bottled in bond offerings. Water did it no justice. Needs more time
