Nose: Fresh sweet cherries, red apples, orange citrus, and a surprising burst of orange/cherry blossom floral notes! Sweet orange honey and a small bit of oak spice hide in the back with a bit of brown sugar and vanilla. Back in there's some nice cinnamon, and caramel, like caramel popcorn almost. Palate: Sweet and mouthwatering! There's an initial taste of orange peel and edible flowers, and maybe a bit of mint? Not as sweet as the nose would suggest, but that initial sweetness is like orange icing sugar and there's definitely some brown sugar and honey. A bit of rye spice shows up now and expands into this whole-mouth tingle. Finish: Medium-long and slightly dry. There's this interesting buttered toast note that starts right after swallowing and simmers into an oakiness as it fades. There's an earthy herbal taste in there, like tobacco and bitter mint. Conclusion: I thought this was going to be another over-hyped bourbon, like Blantons and others, but I was pleasantly surprised - maybe I should start giving bourbon more credit than I usually do. That initial burst of fresh fruit and flowers was unexpected, and now I'm even wondering if I just imagined it - not what I typically find in bourbons! As far as complexity goes, this has layer after layer to pick apart. I should try sipping on this over an hour and see how it changes. If I find another bottle at retail price, I'll definitely pick it up!
