Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, fruit, some grass/wood notes. Palate: Cinnamon and clove give way to oak and leather. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: More oak and leather without the heat. Overall: 8.5/10 - This is a classic bourbon. Probably barrel proof with a good amount of rye. A little more complexity in the palate and this would have scored higher.
