Odd but yet enticing mossy vegetal note on the nose along with vanilla, nut, and ginger. Some sourness on the tongue along with candy sweetness resulting in a flavor not unlike a pickle dipped in caramel vanilla sauce. Some barrel char and savory notes like honey baked ham as well. Finishes with cashew nut and toasted marshmallow and some heat from the proof. A lot going on here. Very tasty. At $35 at TW in my area, this is an insane value. The fact that this bourbon is my substitute for Knob Creek 14yr store picks (pretty much cleared out in AZ) should tell you something.
