Did a proper tasting with the glencairn glass for this one as I was excited to try this dram out. The nose on this was a pretty classic bourbon with a little more of the baking spices popping through. After a few whiffs the nose seems to calm and opens into light berries with spices. The first sip was a little spicier than I expected for a finished whiskey but it let me know that it was there which was a pleasant surprise. Still it was a good first sip that had some kick at the short finish. The second sip was what I was looking forward to as my palette was becoming accustomed to the juice. The first thing I got was brown sugar with caramel followed by jelly/jam, but not too sweet. After the sweet notes the baking spices showed up a little with a peppery and short finish. It is a good bourbon and I would recommend anyone to try it but I do not believe I will be going out of my way to purchase another bottle. I liked the juice just was hoping for a longer finish for a bottle of this pricing. Go out and try it still!
