Smells good like a freshly laundered pillow cases with a hint of vanilla. Oaky notes are more present on second nosing. Nice butterscotch or browned butter wafts through. Rich waxy old timey caramel can be detected on the front of the palate which is quickly replaced by spicy oaky tingle at the back of the throat. Sizzles rather pleasantly as you gulp down. Spices slowly waft away leaving a great oily mouthfeel and a slight caramel notes are left behind. Really great bourbon at a comfortable range of pricing.
