Rested 15 minutes. Served neat in a Glencairn. Nose - a little spicy. baking spices, black pepper, vanilla, cinnamon. Palette - a little heat. Black pepper, cherry. Something else I can’t quite recognize but I really like it. Finish - toasted oak, black licorice, the aftertaste of caramel and gingerbread. Love this bourbon. Very smooth with a particular taste. Love the higher proof. Would rate it a little higher, but I think the $60 price brings it back down.
