Spices and red fruit are clearly present. Cinnamon and ginger are there at the start, but then the cinnamon is replaced by a little bit of clove as the red fruit fades away. The flavor is mild and sweet, though its quick finish tends to dry the mouth. I wish that the four were smoother and had more depth so that it didn't taste like cherries in vodka, but I appreciate that there is not an overpowering flavor of sour wood. I'm not sure what the point of this drink is though since it isn't deep enough to be sippable and is too mild for mixing. The floral notes that come with a big sip push it up past the ranks of those somewhat interesting but oppressively woody Bourbons though. Dry with some spice (cinnamon and white pepper) and minerals. The spice isn't overpoweringly strong, but it is definitely present. As it goes on, a bit of wood comes out and mingles with some rye and hints of orange. Fruit waves it's arms desperately in the background, but it is not very strong and it's hard to pick out just what fruit it is. There are hints of vanilla and some lighter floral notes, but they are barely present. I appreciate how it backs off from the in-your-face attitude that is characteristic of many Bourbons and how it has a variety of mostly balanced flavors, but it errs a bit much on the subtle side. There is a nice underlying rich flavor, but I wish there were more of it. I would sip this, but not enthusiastically. There's rye, but not an overwhelming spiciness (though there is plenty of cinnamon). Some red fruit is here and it mixes its flavor in well. It's sweet, but also drying in a balanced way. There is a little showing of rich toastiness in here, but it is not as much as I would like. The bitter finish with a bit much alcohol and rye is not great and there could be some more complexity, but the overall flavor is still good. I wish that it had less mineral and a more robust flavor, but it is actually quite good. It smells rancid, but also light and fruity with some complexity from floral notes. The palate is mild for a bourbon, with a lot of minerals and floral flavors coming through. Spices do prick their way in, but this isn't a fiery drink. There are lots of subtle notes that can be appreciated even though the mineral flavor is a bit strong considering the floral presence.
