It's definitely different from the smoother, sweeter bourbons I've tried over the past couple of years. Man, that spicy kick of nutmeg and cinnamon at the end really packs a punch!
I was not a fan of the leathery nose, but the taste is peppery and rich. The mouth feel is thick and creamy, which is why the spicy kick at the end came as a surprise.
I had this on my wish list for awhile, and I finally jumped on an Internet sale on the PA liquor control board site to get it. I like it fine and it was definitely worth the cost, but it's not my favorite bourbon. I prefer Willett's Rowan's Creek to this one, but if you like a spicy, thick bourbon with a knock-you-on-your-butt 114 proof, this is the one for you.
