Neat Review. At first, you can really smell the alcohol at the nose... nose hairs tingled. I did get some orange peel and maple syrup at the nose... it definitely came in really bold and spicy when it reached the palate, but then you could taste the sweet undertones of caramel & vanilla come thru in a long finish that lingers... it’s a very nice bourbon. It really doesn’t taste like a $30 bottle and by that I mean it isn’t super sweet like candy or just burns with no depth... this one definitely gives you more than your money’s worth. 👍🏽
