My first thought, "Wow, that's complex. There's like five things going on in my mouth right now." At first taste you catch a lot of the sweet undertones you'd expect from Kentucky bourbon country. The spice comes in mid-chew and opens up the flavor profile quite a bit. I feel like the dryness resembles an Irish whiskey, which I'm not a huge fan of. This whiskey is really good but I almost feel overly complex which takes away from it.
