Have drank a bit of this trying to figure out if I liked it or not, this pour is about 2/3rds the way through the bottle. Don't get much off the nose, seems mild. Get the standard corn bourbon smell. The taste starts with that normal sweet corn then immediately turns to black pepper. It doesnt overwhelm you, but is the singular note after it turns. The finish is present for a bit of time but doesn't over stay it's welcome. It has that carmel aftertaste which is welcoming.
