2nd review on same bottle enjoying neat. Nose - heavy notes of honey, there is also some caramel, oak and some tobacco. Taste - very sweet as soon as it hits the tongue. Heavy vanilla up front transitions into honey. The back end is all about some pungent flavors of oak and tobacco with a slight pepper hint at the end to make this a great balanced bourbon. Overall - solid bottle for 35-50$ range. Well balanced but I would say this one is on the slightly sweeter end of the spectrum. Very good and will be looking to keep this bottle in stock
