There's a lot of sweetness on the nose. Pleasantly sweet on the tongue as well. It has a smoky quality with classic caramel and vanilla notes. Slightly fruity and mild oak tones. Just a hint of tobacco similar to what I pickup in other Buffalo Trace offerings. A medium finish that has an almost maple syrup aftertaste. I paid too much for this on the secondary market, but with it's rarity in my area it was pretty much my only option for trying this allocated bourbon. This will definitely get added to my favorites list.
