Having been a fan of both Bulleit's standard Rye and Bourbon, I was excited to try their age stated line and it did not disappoint. The flavor was quite mild with a nose of cinnamon, vanilla and spice, all of which continue into the taste. Strongest of which seems to me to be the spice from the rye which quickly mellow into sweet and vanilla and finally a smooth finish that makes the bourbon quite drinkable. All around enjoyable, I would definitely buy again.
