Had a glass of this at a bar last night (ABC stores around here just don't carry it. :/) Nose is classic bourbon, vanilla and oak. Taste starts with vanilla and butterscotch before turning into apple juice and barrel spice. I get some mint or menthol kind of cooling feel on the back end. Felt kind of thin but tasty and not too sweet. My only real complaint is when ABC stores do carry it here, it's priced at only $5 less than Eagle Rare, and I'd rather pay that extra money for the ER.
