NEAT NOSE - Vanilla, brown, sugar, and oak. PALATE - It is very smooth and non-offensive with prominent notes of brown sugar and vanilla. FINISH - A maple syrupy sweetness that is just inviting you to take another sip. BUY? - No doubt. This should be your introduction to double-oak’d bourbons. BUY AGAIN?? - 100% yes. This is a great and affordable pour and there are single barrel offerings out there as well!
