Golden color. Medium legs. Nose is maple syrup, brown sugar, baking spices, cinnamon and apple. Smells like desert with some spices thrown in. Palate confirms nose with slight chocolate. Mouthfeel is pleasant and round but slightly waxy and thin. Decent bourbon but I prefer higher proof. Definitely a good $30 daily sipper. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect
