The nose on this one is interesting. I get strong nuttiness, with a backwash of vanilla and what some people call baking spices... first sip brings out a little more of the nut that I picked up, with Oak and heavier spices pushing through. It has a nice smooth mouthfeel, it starts with a medium burn as soon as it hits your throat and warms the whole way down. For the price and availability, a decent option for a bottled in bond.
