Nose: vanilla, caramel, ripe stewed apple, oak wood, some spice, freshly ground black pepper. Taste: sweet entry, spicy, thick syrupy mouthfeel, maple syrup Finish: licorice note, bitter sweet, caramel and vanilla, medium long, turning dry and nutty. This is a decent sipping bourbon. Nothing special or out of the ordinary though. Kind of generic. 4RSmB is more interesting.
