Nose - the word BIG comes to mind, strong vanilla, caramel, cherry, butterscotch, leather, strong oak, roasted peanut, chocolate, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - deep, rich vanilla, caramel, cherry, strong oak, cinnamon, bubble gum, BOURBON cranked up to 12, finishing long, sweet, and woody. I can feel my taste buds sizzling and screaming in agony. Like I licked a stick of old spice...but in a good way. Raging, angry, raw bourbon flavors. Very hot, but delicious nonetheless.
