Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, some dark fruit. Palate: Some cinnamon and clove wirh a bit of oak dryness at the end. Finish: Medium heat, but surprisingly long for 90 proof. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 8/10 - This is an outstanding bourbon at its price point. The proof may not hold up in a cocktail, but it's a fine sipper neat.
