Vanilla, cinnamon, banana, and a hint of unspecified nuttiness nose. Aroma is very weak; have to struggle to get much at all. Taste improves things a little. Vanilla cream and sweet corn up front, followed by caramel, cinnamon, orange peel, and the faintest whisper of oak. Very traditional. Flavors have some richness to them that the nose didn’t suggest but just not a lot going here overall. More vanilla in the finish, (notice a theme here?) this time in the form of French Vanilla ice cream along with peppery spice. Overall finish is painfully short, but there is one lingering toasted toffee note after everything else fades that is by far the best thing about this bourbon. Mouthfeel is creamy, which fits the profile well. For what is certainly a young whiskey judging by the lack of oak presence, it’s ok. There’s no harsh astringencies or anything like that, but nothing really special about it either. An easy sipper, but just doesn’t justify it’s $49 cost. Multitudes of better options out there at this price point.
