Continuing to review bottles in my collection that I've not yet reviewed. Color is Pantone 152 (https://www.pantone-colours.com; I have no association with Pantone). Nose shows toffee, vanilla, faint butterscotch, carrot cake, and a little tobacco. Some light viscosity and weight on the palate, beginning sweet but turning spicy with cinnamon red hots and a touch of tannic bitterness. The 90 proof becomes noticeable on the long finish, which carries some faint woody tannins before ending with some dry leathery notes. VOB is a NAS bourbon, but is at least four years old due to the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey designation. It can typically be found for less than $20. Lacks the complexity for a contemplative sipper, but I'd definitely keep one on hand. 3.0 on the Distiller scale. N.B.: All spirits tasted neat in a Glencairn glass.
