The nose of the bourbon features playful notes of toffee, vanilla, and toasted bread, with the slightest hint of banana. On the tongue, this whiskey tastes sweetly of buttered toast that transitions into cask oak and vanilla. There is a spice to the drink that enhances it and developes into the finish. It settles into a pleasant, if mild, glow in the chest while the spice lingers on the tongue. Excellent neat.
