Nose: Carmel corn. Vanilla.
Taste: Sweet corn and caramel which is balanced nicely by oak. This is more corn forward but the oak keeps it from being too sweet. The corn gives way to whispers of vanilla on the finish.
Conclusion: If someone asked me what a prototypical bourbon flavor profile was this would be pretty close to it. This is very bourbony (if that's a thing). That is by no means a knock on it, this is very good. There are some cheap bourbons that are very good and terrific values, this is one. Cheaper bourbons tend to be younger, and this is on the younger side but it's in the sweet spot of age where bourbon really shines. I highly recommend this.
