Color: pretty light amber. Also light on the legs, but when they do form it is sloow. Nose: it smells fruity in a dark heavy fruit type of way. I also get a hint of some spice. I do get some leather which isn’t usually my favorite bourbon scent. I went back and smelled later after a couple sips and smelled spice. Taste: I get a sweet spice with the spice on the very back of my tongue. I do taste the fruit in the form of some dark berries. Some later sips gave me a caramel taste. This is super complex and fun how it keeps changing. Finish?: a very light burn. I get caramel and spice on the finish. Water?: none needed!
