The aroma is of oak and peanuts covered in caramel with a hint of apple, stone fruit, and smoke. The taste is full of oak from the moment the flavor hits to the last remaining past of the finish. Unlike the oak, most other aspects change a lot over time. Early on, there’s more cherry and dark fruits with nutty notes, but it develops into a peach and corn forward grain midpalate, with a finish of sweet caramel corn and smoke. It feels much thicker than many young bourbons, but less than a pot still whiskey. This is infinitely better than Jim Beam White Label, but I do think I can find better bourbons for the money.
