Great all around balanced bourbon. Beautiful nose of baking spices like cinnamon and clove, peach, vanilla, banana, pear. Taste of oak, vanilla, brown sugar, little spice on the finish.

I definitely taste the orange. Smooth with a little smoke and a mildly warm finish.
Vanilla, sweet corn, and plenty of heat. I prefer Double Oaked
Lacks depth. Lighter taste, than double oak.
Char. Pecans. Vanilla.
