Tasting Notes:

Sour mash bourbon.
Nice amber color.
Pretty nose of orange marmalade, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper.
On the palate the flavor is mostly soft, toasty oak. There is a bit of vanilla and the overall profile is well balanced with well-integrated alcohol. There is a bit on an earthy, tea leaf component as well. A very nice bourbon in a mellow and subtly sweet style.
