Nose : cinnamon, caramel candy, vanilla Palate : Smooth, cinnamon red hots, a little brown sugar Finish : Smooth in your mouth and warm going down, warming spices longer Pretty good bourbon! I've been spoiled with Barrel Strength bourbons and this BIB 100 proof still has a decent bite, but is also a bit thinner than I'd like. Enjoyable if you can find it in the $40 range!
