Might have over estimated this one since it was one of my first. After tasting my way through a few more Bourbons, coming back to this is somewhat...disappointing. On the nose you get honey, spices and a bit of cinnamon. That is actually the most pleasent part of this whiskey. The taste is faint honey, pepper and spices. Rather one note, non of the cherry I usually get in Bourbon. The aftertaste is sweet honey, for a few seconds, and then it's gone.
Not a bad Bourbon by any standard, but not a great one either. Still a good candidate for beginners to slowly get into drinking whiskey. Not worth what I paid for it, but you can find it for a decent price. Worth having a bottle available just in case.
