Full-flavored bourbon. Not overly spicy or hot but just enough to keep you interested. Classic bourbon flavors, but not a heavy oak bourbon. Dense and sweet with a bit of mid-palate all-spice and cinnamon. Soft on the tongue with an initial sweetness, but then immediately drys out the mouth and goes into a really nice finish. Not super chewy on the finish, but enough to where you can hold onto the flavors for a minute. If I'm trying to be nitpicky you can kinda pull out a varnish note, but overall it's so well blended that the entire dram works cohesively together and is enjoyable all the way through.
