Definitely get the leather on the nose and the age shows itself in the palate, I got a very dry oak. That happens to be right up my alley so I really enjoy this pour but I could see how some may not like it. There is also a sweetness to it that I can’t quite put my finger on though I would not say it is vanilla or caramel. The mouthfeel is thick and oily which is fantastic! Very different than a typical bourbon and one that I am glad I have at my disposal! Last thought as I finish up my pour, maybe a hint of cherries at the very end of the finish.
