Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Fruity and floral notes with a touch of caramel. Palate: Baking spice and cinnamon with a nice oily quality. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: A minty note appears once the spice from the palate is toned down. Overall: 8.5/10 - Although the proof is somewhat low for the price, this is an outstanding bourbon. A slight bump in proof would go a long way.
