Received a sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, apple. Palate: Cinnamon, baking spice, oak. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: A few drops seem to balance out the spice and oak in the palate nicely. Overall: 7.5/10 - This is enjoyable bourbon that seems too delicate to be a mixer. The finish is quite nice for the lower proof, but at a higher proof this would be a real banger.
