This bourbon plays on the nose very similar to Buffalo trace, which makes sense given its lineage. You are greeted with familiar scents of cherry and burnt orange wrapped in a delicate vanilla package. Palate is initially rich and sweet, loaded with caramel and baking spice. In the background there is also chocolate which I don’t normally find in bourbons so it’s a welcome addition. It transitions to finish smoothly, giving far more warmth then you expect and lasting far longer too. When you’re finished with your sip you are left reflecting on how rich and full it was, and while not complex, the rounded edges make it taste far more expensive then it is.
