Nosing:
Heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice.
Taste:
Rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa.
Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound.
Finish:
Silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail.

Nosing: 
Menthol, black pepper and lemon peel. Horseradish - which I also smell on their rye whisky. This bourbon also has a fair amount of rye in it which makes some sense.
Taste: 
Intense and savoury arrival. Spicy oak, some citrus still showing through. Hot grated fresh ginger.
Finish:
Medium length, peppery and oaky, quite dry.
Comment:
I got a bottle of this after trying their straight rye release. I think of the two this is definitely the one I would go back to. It is very intense throughout and has the same horseradish component all the way through (particularly on the nose). I'm not sure if this is something which comes predominantly from the rye or if it's distillery character showing through but I haven't come across it in other bourbons. yet. Not sure if I prefer it over scotch, but it definitely has its charms, and is well priced for the quality of spirit.

To be clear I am not a burbon fun but this one is good enough to buy a bottle!
definitely in the best buy range.
if you don't like it straight, try with coke (sour notes come into play) of in the cocktail

Taste:
Finish: medium-short
Comment: Velvety smooth bourbon, nuanced flavours, a nice delicate balance of sweetness and dryness. Very easy sipping. Unfortunately we get the 40% ABV version in Australia, would be interested in trying the 43.2% ABV version. Still very nice - 87/100

Still breaking the complexity down. Very much a dessert drink. I love it though. Will be re-buying.
