Tasting neat. Nose is oaky, a bit of ethanol, and some red hot candy. Taste slightly corn sweet, and thin. Some honey, vanilla, oak, light fruit, and peanut...which all fade in the dry finish which is short, other than the red hots that is surprisingly long lived and builds over several sips. You need to cleanse the palette with a little water between sips just to be able to taste anything else I wouldn't have guessed this is a wheater in a blind taste...there's no body and round sweetness. I also don't think I've ever had such a hot cinnamon bomb. It's almost a novelty at this point..which is why I don't hate it...but it's not great bourbon..it's adult fireball
