Full disclosure: my palate was a bit muddied when tasting. Somewhat sweet. Tastes a little young. Mild vanilla and babana. There's a little burn (mostly nasal). Somewhat oily - the flavor lingers a bit. I need to try it again, properly.

Very light. Spicy. Not bad, not great. This is one that I had been interested in for a while when I first got into Bourbon. But it always got pushed aside due to other, more interesting options. Glad it was a "try before I buy" pour.
Nose of cinnamon, oak, apple, butterscotch, leather, corn and char. Lightly sweet on the palate; wood, apple, cinnamon, corn and vanilla. Spicy finish. Solid stuff.
Brown sugar, with apples or pears. Moves to dusty corn and hay. A little warm on the finish, with some prickly bits. Enjoyable.
Tried neat and stolen from @Looneyhead as he’s passed out again. This is delicious. Notes of vanilla, tobaccer, caramel
oak, vanilla, ripe fruit. strong nose, strong flavor up front, short tail. somewhat single noted, a little young.
