Nose: right away get notes of toffee floral and fruity Palate: light pear but not too sweet, and earthy oak Typically like my bourbon neat. But I added a teaspoon of water on the second pour and it really opened up the profile. I enjoined it much more with a few drips of water Finish: very long but smooth finish. Mildly spicy Overall different than what’ve expected but very drinkable, and affordable for what I would consider top shelf.
