I get vanilla, oak and some fruit up front on the nose. Had the typical palate of a classic bourbon but with a hint of cherry or mixed berries, evident of its port finish. Thicker mouthfeel, ridiculously smooth and without a ton of heat. I can see why it is so popular. At the same price as Blanton’s it is refreshing different but not quite as refined. Price point aside, this is a fantastic bourbon and will be a staple in my collection.
