Shoulder pour had light flavored notes of EH Taylor and Blantons - light cinnamon. Later pours don't seem to have it. Later pours have a bit of the 1792 flavor profile in them. It is an easy drinker, there is nothing off putting in this. It is not that interesting, either, to be honest - there's not much flavor to taste. I don't regret the purchase, but it won't be too high on my list of whiskeys to buy again.
