Late bottle pour, neat, sat covered 15 minutes. Nose: leather and vanilla, as all bourbons have, baking spices like cloves and nutmeg. Later I picked up berries, slightly. Palette: spicy and sweet, vanilla, caramel, I think I pulled mint. Finish: ginger, pepper, cloves. Never had a dram nose bourbon and finish rye before, excellent. Will say the rye pepper finish tamed as the bottle aged.
