Smell: cherry/dark fruit, cinnamon, hint of vanilla, bit of wood/oaky, some citrus peel Neat: wood/oaky, cinnamon, spicy notes, hint of vanilla, cherry, spiceful (full of spice flavor), wood tannin bitterness finish, On ice: less spicy notes, spices more forward (especially cinnamon and clove), cherry disappears sadly, still has woody finish. Verdict: Share It: This is a very good bourbon for its price that has all the characteristics of a bourbon that is full of different and complex flavors instead of being one or two flavor forward as other bourbons are.
