Spotted this for $16 and figured I like sweet bourbons so I should try this........mistake. Poured neat, nose is some caramel and spice with some heat and a dose of oak. Palate is slightly nutty with more caramel, heated cinnamon, strong oak and a bit of peppery spice. Finish is where it goes to hell for me. Drying caramel, cinnamon and oak turns bitter and even a bit sour(like you swallowed some acid reflux). This wont hit you at first. It seems pretty decent then slowly it develops the bile-like aftertaste and it really ruins the whole thing for me. I actually dumped out a couple pours which I never do. This was just not for me...........60/100.....one of my lowest bourbon scores, very disappointed I thought I would like this...ymmv
