Nose - Oaky vanilla, heavy brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, hint of herbal/green oak, like a freshly cut sapling. Taste - Vanilla scented brown sugar simple, cinnamon red hot sweetness, light oak bitter, tiny bit of cherry near the end. Finish - Lingering brown sugar simple, fading cinnamon heat, lightly spicy on the tongue like the fizz after a sip of fizzy cherry coke. Score - 86/100 Final Thoughts - This is a very tasty bourbon that hits on all of the right notes. It's not overly complex with a myriad of flavors, but on the "core" bourbon flavors of vanilla, caramel/dark sugar, & cinnamon, it delivers it quite well. High enough proof to stand up in cocktails and tasty enough to sip neat, this is a fantastic bourbon for the price.
