Neat. Opened more than 6 months. I remember not being too impressed with this pour on first impression. With time on the shelf, the nose ain’t bad. Corn and old hay in a barn. Watermelon starburst. Vanilla. It’s muddled but not off putting. It’s light but not thin on the tongue. Cinnamon sugar up front. Transitions to bubble gum and that watermelon starburst note. Not a fan of that bubble gum note when I hit it. Seems to happen more often on young craft whiskey. This isn’t meant to be consumed neat. It a mixing bourbon sure.
