Mashbill: 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley

Color: Auburn Brown
Drank: Neat, in a glencairn
Nose: Rich vanilla oak, sweet caramel custard. Very sweet and lots of brown sugar in the nose.
Taste: A bit of clove and pepper hit the tongue. Oak, rye spice, mint, vanilla, and just a slight after taste of banana. The spice is surprising after the sweetness of the nose. Good thick viscosity.
Finish: Warm and lingering with a good mouthfeel. Tobacco, toffee and more vanilla oak sweetness return.
Thoughts: Solid all around bourbon, doesn’t do anything amazing but not real flaws either.
Score: 82 out of 100
