Nose: I got a lot of sweeter notes, like sugar cookies along with fresh fruits. I also got some warm along spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Taste: I mean where do I start. Immediately I am hit with snickerdoodle cookies, where the brown sugar and cinnamon come through but that quickly transitions into a darker sweetness like maple syrup, all while having that warm spice to it. For a bourbon with this high of proof, I thought it was so smooth. Eventually add a little bit of water to it and it brings out so many more tastes. LOVE this stuff.
