After about a month with some air... Nose: Oak, Fruit, Vanilla, Sugar Palate: Oak, Old Wheat, Crem Brulee or Brown Sugar, Fruit Finish: Spicy and sweet with a lingering burn. Verdict: Overall, I like this, but there are much better whiskeys out there for a quarter of the price. Not sure if it's worth the $150 MSRP, but it's an ornate bottle with some very nice bourbon in it. This is the oldest whiskey I have tasted/purchased and I would love to try this head to head with Pappy 15.
