Nose: The nose is not to complex. There's the basic sweetness you get with bourbon: vanilla, honey, and corn namely with some maple syrup notes mixed in as well. Taste: The taste is good though not too complicated with corn obviously, maple syrup again with caramel and nuts. Finish is pretty short but doesn't burn you on the way out leaving you wanting another sip. Opinion: Sure it's not the greatest bourbon out there, but there is a reason Jim Beam is the world's largest name for bourbon. It's a great classic dram for the price, and I have nothing bad to say against it! They have been doing great things for a long time and Lord willing, they will continue to do so! Cheers!
