Nose: leather and cigar. Smells like a bourbon was meant to smell. Palate: I’m getting cherry and vanilla initially. Quite a burn for a 100 proof. Finish: short finish. Not a lot to say about it other than that. Saw someone compare the finish to furniture polish (in a good way) and didn’t understand. After tasting I totally get it. Hard to explain, but that is exactly the best way to describe this bourbon. Overall: An average bourbon initially. I’m interested in seeing how time and possibly a little water or a cube of ice will bring out the flavor. Will revisit soon.
