Nose: Sweet Tropical Fruit with a Candied Baking. Light Vanilla. Spice. Palate: Fruit Cocktail Cotton Candy Finish: Oak Spice. Orange Zest. Sweet Honey Dew. Nose is quite nice. Smells and tastes like a sweet bomb. Has fruity floral notes from start to finish in the taste and scent. I can understand the comparison to a muted Blanton's. Not nearly as spicy as its rye mash bill family.
