On the pour, this whiskey has a nice amber/caramel color to it. When you put the glass to the nose, you get what smells like a gentleman's bourbon. Hints of butterscotch and mustiness are primary, with the alcohol coming in too. On the tongue, this bourbon starts out almost seeming like a rye, being hot and spicy. It cools off in the middle while still displaying its 94 proof strength. The swallow is sweet, full, and bold, with the vanilla, corn, butterscotch, and other fruity notes finishing it off -- with a little extra burn on the way down.
