Nose - creamy vanilla, butterscotch, banana, Nilla Wafer, sweet dusty corn, cherry, cinnamon, light oak notes, mild ethanol burn. Taste - cherry, sweet vanilla, butterscotch, chili powder, cinnamon, almond, allspice, sweet corn, sweet oak, cocoa, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium length with caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and subtle nut flavors. On the nose, I would have pegged this for a mature Jack Daniels, however the taste doesn’t follow suit. It’s a very sweet (almost cloying, but not quite), easy drinking whiskey that I think would make a good candidate to introduce someone to bourbon, as it’s just plain pleasant. If you want something extremely “smooth” in every way, this is for you. There’s absolutely no burn in the nose or the palate. This is not a bad bourbon, but there’s nothing special here. Additionally, I think it’s overpriced for what you get. Thank you to @ContemplativeFox for providing this sample for review.
