First time trying this one. nose - zero aroma of alcohol in this one which may have something to do with the low proof. I get honey, vanilla, and some chocolate. All very sweet notes. Smells quite good taste - very light on the tongue. A bit bland to me at the start but as it sets on the tongue and goes down you notice some smooth sweet flavors of chocolate and honey come to play and ends with a bit of pepper and fruitiness. overall and value - off and on availability in my area. Found from 40 - 50$. In my opinion, this is a good complex bourbon but doesn't drink like a $50 bottle. The nose is nice a sweet as is the taste. Not as good as some of the other bourbon's I have had from Michters, but still good.
