Nose: Vanilla and alcohol are right off the bat. Allowing the bourbon to open up a little helps a little with the intensity and allows a banana nut bread/pudding. Palate: Vanilla, honey sweetness with a lingering hint of banana bread. Finish: Caramel, vanilla nut. A drop of water splits the aromas on the nose and actually intensifies the harsh alcohol notes. However, it brings out a beautiful orange flavor on the palate that reminds me of a candied orange.
