Dark Amber in color, color added I’m sure. Nose is strong with spices (cloves), vanilla and caramel. No real complexity to it but that wouldn’t be expected in a 2 yr old bourbon. I don’t think it would mix well but it’s not too bad sipping over a piece of ice. It’s local for me so I’ll give it an extra point for that. I met the folks that build it and I feel their heart is in the right place and I expect (hope) to see their efforts improve over time.
