Nose - Sweet vanilla caramels, fairly oaky, brief hints of cherry/strawberries. Taste - Spicy fruity vanilla sweet simple syrup, cherry/strawberry soda, light oak bitterness that's kind of weird, light cinnamon/white pepper heat. Finish - Lingering sweet, white pepper heat, fruity vanilla simple, lingering oak bitterness. Score - 85/100 Final Thoughts - This is a pretty tasty bourbon. Nice nose for sure but it definitely needs a bit of air time to fully bloom, and it does deliver mostly on the palate with classical wheated bourbon notes. Nice fruity vanilla but then there's this extra spice component along with this odd bitterness that kind of throws it off balance. Closest thing I can use to describe it is an oaky bitterness, but that doesn't really do it justice. Regardless, not too bad of a wheated bourbon, but at least here in WA state, the price is a bit of a turn off since I can get OWA for less.
