Day 4 of my bourbon advent calendar Nose: It has a much sweeter nose than its discontinued counterpart. A lot more brown sugar, and toasted peanuts, with minimal oak. Very pleasant smell. Plate: This bourbon doesn't really surprise me with the taste. It's exactly what i thought it was going to be, and it's just a classic bourbon, with notes of vanilla, oak, and a slight nuttyness Considering the price I paid for this bottle I could drink this everyday, but I think I got lucky, because when I went back it was $12 higher than when I bought it. But it's still a decent pour for $45.
