On the nose I get lots of spice, Oak, caramel, and a little hint of maple syrup. On the palate the spice does come through both most likely from the mash bill and the proof. A bit of the spice, cherry sweetness, and a hint of oak. This is one of my favorite go to everyday bourbons. However your mileage may very because it is a single Barrel which means each bottle will be slightly different in flavor. But in think because of this and the price point between $35-40 USD around me, it is an awesome value and holds up to much more expensive bourbons in my opinion.
