Color: Copper-Amber
Nose: First pour — Classic Bourbon nose. Oak, sweet, slight alcohol.
Second pour — cinnamon!
Palate: First pour — Medium mouth feel; initial slight burn on the way down; spicy tingle intermingling with burnt sugar sweetness. Drinks smoother than its proof.
Second pour — original spice transforms into a more specific spice of cloves or allspice(?).
11/17: Cherries!
Finish: Short but pleasant with slight sweetness carrying over.
This is not complex, but it's all I hoped it would be at this price point. It's very good and checks nearly every bourbon box for me. I bought this while on a trip to Virginia. It's not available in the Los Angeles area (all of CA?), as far as I can tell. So I will definitely buy again, whenever I find myself in a state where it is available.
