Bottle 128/153. Has a very pleasant nose. Corn, vanilla, hint of floral. Sweet. Taste is fresh, clean. Boozy but not overly strong. Corn, caramel, oak, very easy pepper spice, finish is quite quick and clean. Really enjoyed this one. Better neat at room temperature. Cube ok, but kind of mutes it.

Nose is clean bourbon corn and vanilla. Taste is a clean bourbon corn taste. What is great is no bad after tastes. You can taste hints of the charred barrel as an aftertaste.
