sweet butterscotch, smoky oak, pepper and a little heat at 115 proof. best over an ice chunk. Came back to revisit this 2018 taste in 2021. Vanilla, chocolate, and brown sugar on the nose. Carmel corn and spiced peanuts, dark fruit, chocolate, and lots of spicy grassy rye on the palette. Coating mouthfeel and a little char smoke. Big complex flavors and ethanol burst. Such a great bourbon, better and better.
