Aged 8 years. Smell is faint. Floral taste, sweet. Unique. Some cinnamon. Somewhat of a short finish. I can see why people seem to either love or hate this. I fall somewhere in the middle. If not for the price I would probably like it more. 4/7/17
Nose is stronger this time, still floral, but with more traditional bourbon notes as well - wood, brown sugar, baking spices. In short, smells good. I taste some cola, cinnamon, walnuts, cherries. Much more complex than I remember. Warm going down. Finish is still a bit short. This was much better this time around. 5/26/17 Tried the 10-year version. Nose was nice, floral notes, wood, and a hint of... plastic. But it works. Smooth and silky on the tongue. The flavor is unique, and there's an earthiness that rounds it out, like truffles or mushrooms. The spice lingers. 1/13/18
