Freshly popped bottle enjoying a glass neat Nose - cherries, oak, and a sugary sweet smell Taste - a lot of cherries and oak throughout on this one. There is also some mint that brings in some spiciness to the palate. Subtle but if chocolates at towards the end and then comes the mint and spice. Very savory tasting bourbon that is pretty unique. Much better than my previous bottle thus far. Overall - nose is nothing special but the taste is quite unique. Style points for the bottle and a great juice.
