Butterscotch, leather and Orange are spot on ways to describe the nose of this bourbon - very little bite but produces the same flavor profile on the backend. I would say this lacks mid and finishing flavors but presents itself very strong up front. Few drops of water is all it need to open up. Not as hot as Bookers (which I don’t consider to be that hot anyways) and prefer the complexity of Bookers but this is not a bad offshoot to explore.
