Marshmallow, vanilla toffee and caramel nose. Heavy maple syrup after a few minutes of breathing. Palate is very smooth. Little heat on the center and back of tongue but it is a little delayed. Slightly oily. Medium finish. Overall a good bourbon. Would snag at retail, not at secondary. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect
