Nose - dusty corn, oak, almonds and peanuts, shoe cleaner, and vanilla. Taste - sweet, giving off a lot of citrus and oak at the same time. Some nutty flavors. A bit of an aspartame note, but that's normally a huge bad thing but not so much here with so much oak. Overall I'm digging this. It would stand up well against booker's 30th in a blind tasting. I will note the whole review was with water, it really needed the water. Giving it a 3.0 vs 3.5 (booker 30th) due to how hot it drinks neat. I like the be able to drink either way and this one is less enjoyable neat. It's priced unpleasantly high so if you miss out, you're not missing out. Still, I think this is a huge step up from a normal bookers, but for my money I'm still getting KC single barrel.
