One of those small, flask-ish bottles you find behind the register. It's a beautiful maple syrup color (foreshadowing?). The nose is old wood, like a dusty warehouse; sawdust. Elmer's glue, as expected, with corn syrup. The taste is molasses, toffee and sweet syrup. The dust from the bottom of a jar of peanuts. The corn syrup is smooth and unobtrusive. The burn is nearly non-existent, to the point I had to check the proof. A droplet of water brings out the corn stuff. The finish is some sort of corn and maple syrup hybrid. Burnt oak ash on the sides of the tongue. Additional water makes the rye/cinnamon pop. It's no mystery why this is the most popular Tennessee whiskey on earth: it's mild, sweet, drinkable and will mix beautifully with the cola of your choice.
