Gentle nose. Smooth with no bite at all (not always a good thing, but good in this instance). Some alcohol burn to the nose and taste. Flavor lasts a while. Not fruity, but maybe a little apple. Very oaky and Carmel. Love to have on my shelf, but not sure worth the price of admission the second time. Curious to see if it stands out more as I drink more bourbons that don’t have as much proof.
