Neat. Neck pour. Nose is light and bright. The age is only hinted at in the tail end of the nose. Caramel and butterscotch. Hint of spearmint. Hint of apple or even pear too.
Oily feel despite the lower proof. Apple, sugar and cinnamon on the tongue. Vanilla flips to butterscotch on the taste with lingering oak and cherry. Vanilla and cherry lingers with a pronounced sweetness on the legs.
I was expecting an experience close to Boone County 1833 but it is quite difference. The oak is turned down and the sweetness is amplified. Might be the sweetest bourbon I have had. It’s really delicious!
