This is great whiskey. Another hit from the Buffalo Trace distillery. Nose for me is vanilla and some root beer and butter, on to vanilla with plum sweetness and a little heat that fades to oak(very nice) water brings out more oak in nose and palate, finishes with slight dry bitterness but in a good way. Medium mouthfeel, overall an excellent bourbon ...86/100....great value for 10 yr age statement
