375ml, 90 proof. On the nose the usual vanilla and oak and a little leather but also something strikingly fruity, maybe cherries? Whatever it is, it's elusive, hard to detect on the second and third nose, but returning again on the fourth! On the palate -- oh my! -- lots of flavor: vanilla and oak again, but also caramel and something sweet, maybe brown sugar? Plenty of other lesser flavors but I'm not experienced enough to identify them all. Some fire but generally very smooth forward and again on the finish. A pause, then adding a little water brings out those elusive lesser flavors, but I still struggled to name them. Then I re-read the expert review by Amanda Schuster and I realized I was tasting banana and chocolate! There's more but I'm still learning (working on my Bourbon Steward cert). Really pleasant results. Excellent value.
