Vanilla and cinnamon all day on the nose but where this bourbon shines is on the palette. Bright and shiny vanilla and lemon iced tea. Actually reminds me a bit of a thicker and slightly more sparkly Van Winkle 15. A bit heavy on the vanilla but such a fantastic bourbon I don't even mind. Finish is long with only vanilla and the faintess hints of black tea. The mouth feel with this puppy is amazing though so you'll hardly want to experience the finish!
