Nose... Marshmallows, caramel, apricots and maple syrup just to name a few... Color... A light to medium copper.. Taste.... Subtle rye, toasted almonds, seasoned wood, pepper, tobacco and raisins... Overall... The higher proof, deep char and 6 to 8 years spent in the barrels gives this Bourbon such knockout flavors at a fantastic price. It's bold, complex and yet totally refined, even to drink neat which is my style. Change the packaging and rename it, then double the price, and people will purchase more of it than they do now. It's a STEAL....
