A bit of raw grain on the nose, but it's mostly sweet corn, caramel, and some general spice. It actually smells like it would be a higher proof than it is, but without any burn through the nose. The body is initially a bit disappointing, but that is likely from the lower proof. The barrel flavor is certainly coming through, but without a longer age time, I'm getting more young oak than the traditional longer aged tasting notes, and it makes me curious on what barrel char level was used. There are indeed some dark fruit notes closer to the finish, which definitely make this a unique blend.
This reminds me of my all time favorite craft bourbon (which shall not be named), so it's getting a lot of automatic love from me. I was also very jealous to learn of the other delicious sounding products this distillery produces, since this was the only product I could find.
Overall, I would enjoy coming back to this bourbon probably more often than not to try to break up the less different ones in my collection. Great work!
