(rock glass, neat) Nose: pleasant sweetness with hints of brown sugar and raisins, slight flashes of oak. Reminds me of pantone bread. Taste: a bit shiny, thin and unrefined. Oak forward with some sweetness that's a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins with light pops of barrel spice. There's a subtle nuttiness that's hard to pin down. Very soft flavors that did not live up the nose and had a hint of complexity. Finish: a nice, balanced finish between sweetness and woodiness. Lingering hints of cinnamon and barrel spice that lasts for quite some time. Overall: tastes a bit unrefined and does not live up to the nose. It's a rather sweet bourbon overall, I believe, because of the wheat content. The nose is fabulous but the flavor leaves much to be desired. It's a great buy if you can find it for around $20 and feels more like a novelty than a go to sipper.
