This is a really nice smelling bourbon; fruity with notes of apricot & caramel. Palate smooth and woody, improving with every sip. Spicy on the back of the tongue, drinking bigger than its proof, but not too hot- easy to handle. Short to medium finish with very little burn. This bourbon tastes a bit young, but it’s a pleasant, easy to drink whiskey that would be a great starter for those just getting into the bourbon world.
