On the nose I get vanilla, cinnamon, and some orangey citrusy notes. The palate is nice with vanilla, honey, and those orange notes. Finish is of rye/cinnamon spice, char, black pepper. Very nice for the price. Worth keeping this on hand for a cheap mixer and sipper. Would love to do a blind with this and Wild Turkey 101 to figure out a go to sub $30 sipper.
