(neat, rock) Nose: caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, light fruity (plum, pear) and woody (oak) notes Taste: starts with oak and some plum, pear notes, hints of caramel and brown sugar sweetness, light and smooth Finish: lingering oak and brown sugar sweetness, finishing with pear that stays with you for awhile Overall: this is a great, well-balanced bourbon with a good blend of sweetness, oak, and fruit notes. The proof felt like it could have been increased with a fuller flavor profile but how it is makes for a great go-to sipper
