Nose: Quite thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch. Palate: thick and full. There are notes of espresso beans, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum. Finish: Long and mature with notes of cereals and toasty oaken spice. Overall: One of my favorites, it's up there with 1792 small batch wich in my opinion is the best bourbon that I have tried so far.
