Agree with the 'not much nose' comment posted earlier. Lots of alcohol mist masking what is there. But underneath there is something coconut, maraschino, very soft, sweet vanilla and also slight Clove, slight wood lurking, depending on the nose condition. Taste-wise this is mostly a sweet bourbon. Vanilla cream, 'nilla wafers, as noted before, vanilla anything, in fact, with or without food. Also a delicious minty quality in the aftertaste. At the roof of the mouth and the back of the tongue, the wood alcohol dominates. The 100 proof comes through nicely and with surprisingly little burn. I keep trying for flavors but they don't easily show themselves with the heavy alcohol. But at 65, my taster is likely not what it once was and so I find little complexity here. Then again, it's easy sipping as it's still sweet goin' in and goin' down. I would suspect the corn mash is a good bit higher than 51%. At $30 I like this very much. Whether on a budget or not this is a very good staple for the cabinet. As commented before, along with Beam Distiller's Cut or similar, kept well stocked, a person's Whisky thirst could be handled for comparatively little money and with excellent return. 4 stars. $30 USD in PA in Aug. Now $40 in Nov.
