The nose is full and smoky. The palate has some sweetness that tends toward light caramel mixed with plenty of wood. It tastes a bit on the young side, withy he flavors not being fully integrated. It's good, but nothing spectacular. Given its only mild complexity, if like it to be smoother. I do appreciate the dry tannins and not being overly sweet, but it has that lightness and minerality that Evan Williams Black does.
