N: Floral, herbal, lightly medicinal. Also sweet smelling and a little fruity. Under that there's more typical ethanol, vanilla, caramel. P: Honey with a bit of a tea-like taste and bitterness. Bit of dry chocolate as it warms. More typical corn and vanilla flavors linger after a few sips. Finish is pretty meek - touch of hot spice you start to notice after several sips. So many of the entry level bourbons hammer you with the hard and hot wood flavors (spicy licorice or cinnamon). This feels far less wood-forward than most of the crowd, and is instead a bit more juice-forward. It's not necessarily better, but it's a nice contrast against expectations for entry level straight bourbon. That, plus 86 proof and what's not to like?
