So I got it because it was on special.. previously familiar with bulliet 10(was just okay) but figured it can't be terrible.. wellll its not terrible but definitely not for me. Tastes more like a rye whiskey than bourbon.. will not buy again not sure why people review it so highly. with that said Nose: Some toasted oak, rye amd some spices and plastic for some reason.. i wish it was leather but yeah smelled like plastic.. Palate: warm and spicy, your palate get a pungent sensation i also for some reason tasted plastic too... Finish: Spicy not very pleasant..
