Mint and sweet caramel, floral vanilla and cereal on the nose. Spice and dry oak and vanilla, then brown sugar in the mouth. Medium body and mouthfeel. Ethanol and heat builds in a spicy grain finish. Opens up with a little ice/water, and lets some orange flavors show. This is a balanced spice-sweet-oak bourbon, making it easy to drink, yet still has teeth at 116.8. Not single barrel, but blended barrel proof, and I love barrel proof whiskeys.
