Caramel, vanilla, musty oak, raisin, rum scents bordering on rubber; vanilla and barrel spices, fig, and oak, rich sweetness fades This might be my favorite bottom shelf bottle. It feels richer than the other bourbons in its class. It has a rum-esque vibe to the nose. I dont actually like rum but when bourbon has rum notes I love it. There is a decent amount of oak for something i assume is around 4 yrs old. This one really hits all the right notes for me, and none of the wrong ones.
