Light fruity nose. Definitely get some alcohol but it doesn't burn. Apple vanilla and cherry with a strong waft of peanuts. Maybe some caramel or butterscotch lingering there as well. Great mouth feel on first sip, with solid huh, feels good going down. Very much cinnamon, rye ****, and pepper. I even get some dark chocolate notes like baking cocoa, Nutmeg and cloves. This is very good for the 28 dollars I paid. Good high proof bourbon for the price!
