Neat. Nose hits you with more alcohol than expected considering the proof. Sweet notes on the nose. Sugar cane with a hint of plum. Texture is creamy and sets off sweetness immediately. Sweetness dominates the taste. Almost like a childhood cereal. Maybe Fruity Pebbles. Candies. Never described a bourbon taste as “childhood” before but there is something about the sweetness in the after taste that takes me back. Took a bit to open up and win me over.
