Nose: very light nose. Only thing I get is caramel from this. Maybe some coffee cake too. Palate: light but very spicy for 80 proof. Lots of caramel and decent flavor for being $12. Finish: vanilla on the finish and very short. Overall: not bad. I can definitely see the Blantons/buffalo trace feel to it. But much like AAA10 it’s just very watered down and plain. Yes, a great ~$10 bottle but not worth buying again for myself. There are too many other bottles that are amazing to me to have this one take up room in the cabinet.
