Nose is a sweet honey, caramel bomb, with some nice medium oak accents. Vanilla, and apple are very present on the nose a touch of cherry and baking spice in the background. Palate is more of that luscious caramel, vanilla, oak, baking spices, and rye spice that kicks in toward the end. Finish is all that rye spice, oak and baking spices along with the sweet apple flesh and slight bitter from the apple peel from the nose to close out the finish. The apple and oak notes linger the longest on this dram. Better than your average whiskey pleasantly surprised as it's 100 proof bottled in bond that drinks like an edgy, more complex buffalo trace minus the orange notes.
