Caramel and vanilla on the nose. Oak, vanilla, and a touch of spiciness on the palate. This is enjoyable, but Larceny Small Batch is my preferred wheater in this price range. To me, this is a much better bourbon when I drink it neat and without food. When drinking this with food, I often experience a searing burn down my throat. Also, there's something about the iconic shape of the bottle that does not work in my favor. I can never seem to pour this without several drops of bourbon escaping down the side of the bottle and moistening the label.
