The nose has vanilla, oak, floral note, toffee, and butterscotch. The palate has rich baked vanilla, honey, little pepper and a hint of butterscotch. Good for when you’re craving something sweet. Maybe a good holiday whiskey. The typical Jim Beam green oak flavor faded away after a few sips. This is an excellent whiskey worth more than the retail price. It doesn’t have a lot of flavors going on but what it does have is very good! The sweet and somewhat oily finish lingers for quite awhile. Very pleasant surprise for this price point.
