Nose: oak, vanilla, caramel. Hay? Barn wood. Banana peel, cherry medicine. Palate: vanilla, oak, and stewed fruit up front that turns to coffee mocha. Finish is medium long, charred wood and cherry. Very smooth double oaked and rich. Every time I have a new pour it changes. Very good for the price. Proof could be higher but this is a good sipper that won't burn you on arrival. Thumbs up.
