Enjoying neat Nose - vanilla and ethanol. Some light oaky spices Taste - starts very smooth and vanilla. As it sets on the tongue it begins to get a little bitter. End is smooth with a light spicy note and rounds out to a heavy oak or smokiness. Overall and value - love the sweet notes on the palate and how easily drinkable it is. Great overall bourbon that is easily found from 20-25$ making it a great value. Style points to the bottle with the unique bright red wax.
