Nose: sweet cinnamon, vanilla, barrel char, sweet tabaco, the proof jumps out. Taste: super sweet and spicy, first sip will hit you with the proof, almost same flavor profile as the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof but with a lighter body. Finish: is medium and oak flavors will stick with you for a while. This is a solid 4 stars bourbon, Im really happy that I got it, highly recommended. If you are in to high proof bourbons, this is one is a must.
