Nose on this one is hard to find because it's almost not there but when you find it is lovely honey, vanilla, corn syrup provides the sweetness, nice fruitiness not quite pappy peach and apricot but a light fruit note almost at times like faint strawberry/ cherry and pear note. Just can't pin the exact fruit down. Palate is very easy drinking sweetness is the word that leaps from the glass, along with the honey, light oak, vanilla, and nuttiness. Almost a pecan praline but not that much vanilla and sugar. The rye and some cinnamon spice notes are very much there but aren't overpowering and fade quickly. You can make them stronger by agitating the whiskey in your mouth but they still aren't bad. Finish is short because nothing about this whiskey is out of balance or overpowering. This should appeal to everyone except those who don't care for dessert/sweet whiskeys. The oak does ramp up a bit on the finish with some barrel char but the light rye spice, sweetness and vanilla are there also.
