Trying this one again neat Nose - Wow! This is a great smelling bourbon. Heavy vanilla and cherries, very sweet smelling. Light leather smell with an extremely light ethanol smell. This is one of the best smelling bourbons to date for me Taste - Tastes actually a lot like it smells which is not always common with bourbon. Starts very very smooth and rich with vanilla cherries. This one keeps going on as a smooth very drinkable and likeable bourbon. Finishes off still very smooth with a very very small spiciness to it. Oak and vanilla finish that are long lasting on the tongue. Overall and value One of the better bourbons I have had the pleasure of drinking. This is just simply great bourbon. Smooth, complex, stellar nose, readily available, and a price right around 50$ mark. With a bourbon this great, you don't mind paying a bit more for it compared to some of the 20-40$ bottles. Overall this should be one of the best available bourbons in my opinion.
