Color: Light-Medium Copper Nose: Relatively light nose of oak with a mild alcohol whiff, and a hint of cherry. Nice nose, all in all. Palate: (Drank neat, taking the low proof into consideration) My first impression is this is somewhat youthful, but not as off-putting as other young-tasting drams I've sipped in the past. As a matter of fact, I'm getting some licorice on these initial sips. You'd not expect much of a burn at this proof... but this stuff gives you quite a warm hug! Slightly sweet on the tongue with a light mouth feel. There's also some "fruitiness" that I'm getting, once an ice cube was introduceed in subsequent pours, and it begins to dillute. The licorice I mentioned before slowly transforms into menthol the more I sip. Interesting juxtaposition between the warm hug and the "cooling" menthol flavor. Spicy on the back end. Finish: Medium with spicy menthol. Might sound strange, but the finish is the highlight on this one for me. Final Thoughts: Hmmmm.I generally frown upon youthful tasting bourbon, but this one has an interesting enough profile to keep it from receiving a negative review and low rating from me. I've heard that it's aged "at least 4 years", but I can't be sure. In the $30 range, I'd say this is "good". 3.0 stars.
