So first off it was a cold night outside around a fire when this was tried. I couldn’t get much out of the nose but I think it had more to do with surroundings than bourbon. Upon first sip you can immediately tell it’s an ultra premium bourbon. Explodes with flavor and coats the mouth. It’s an oak bomb for sure. The finish is long and drying and takes you back for more. My only complaint is I would have liked a touch more sweetness out of it. It’s heavy on the oak and cinnamon with zero alcohol burn. It’s a damn fine drink and one I would never turn down. Cheers
