2nd time reviewing my 2012 produced bottle Nose - caramel, fruits, spices, and leather Taste - sweet and full up front. Transitions into some vanilla and honey flavoring. Ends with a fruity flavor along with a slight bitterness and tobacco with a light kick and heat to it. Overall well balanced. Overall - well balanced budget bourbon. What is there more to say about this one. All the good flavors are there. Its a great supper especially under 25$ range
