The nose is sweet with a lesser degree of spiciness. Vanilla is most noticeable but other notes include cherry, molasses, nutmeg, allspice, gingerbread, and cinnamon. Vanilla, green apple, cinnamon, cherry, ginger, and black pepper made up the palate. The finish was spicy and oaky with notes of tart cherry, green apple, citrus, orange peel, and black pepper. Overall, this was a really tasty bourbon for what I paid (<$20 USD). I'm definitely going to plan on keeping this stocked as one of my good, cheap, "everyday" bourbons.
