Revisiting this one with a little bit of water after having it opened for a month now. Nose - sweet and vanilla candy sugary smell. Taste- starts sweet, mellow and smooth. Ends with a smooth very light heat and hints of maybe a cinnamon candy. Price and value - overall this bourbon is not going to be one of my go to drinks. It is not easy to find and price point of around 50$ with a pretty standard alcohol content. The bottle, topper and extra pour spout (if acquired in gift set) are all pluses for style points. The bourbon itself is good and smooth but nothing unique to me. I would add value if it was a cheaper price point and more available.
