The nose has some vanilla sweetness, caramel, some baking or rye spice, and a little corn. The palate is sweet and has vanilla, some rye, a hint of leather and a fair amount of ethanol flavor. The finish is fairly smooth, but short. This one is fairly unmemorable. It’s light, and I have to search to find any flavors. And even though it goes down pretty smoothly, there’s a decent amount of ethanol lingering in the palate. Not my favorite. But I love the Double Oaked!
