Fruity sweet vanilla nose. Tast is a little light on the front end but plenty of oak not really sweet a little vanilla. Heat comes in hits the back of your throat and mellow out all the way down and keeps you warm. Not to hot at all. Finishes out with pear and oak. Excellent smooth bourbon imho the best bourbon you can get that is on every shelf and coming in at 35 bucks it’s better than a lot of allocated hard to get bourbons.
