Delightful nose full of vanilla and some kind of sweet spice I can't place. Sweet, full body some vanilla and a lot of cocoa. It has a savory element- almost like barbecued meat - probably from the barrel char. It's got a nice round finish with a bit of wood and a lot more of the cocoa/barbecue flavor. This gets extra points for being easy to find while not being overly expensive. There are better bourbons at this price point, but very few are readily available in most areas.
