Nose: The entry is light, but sweet with vanilla and corn cast as the leading actors. Grains and apple juice play secondary roles.

Palate: The bourbon cask influence comes through on the palate and accentuates the mostly corn based whiskey.

Finish: It is slightly slick, soft, and sweet with the spice factor held to a minimum from beginning to end.
