Nose: Honey, butterscotch, cardamom, vanilla, cooked rice, hints of cloves.

Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Fresh baked bread, butterscotch, vanilla, brown paper, hints of iron filings. 
Finish: Medium. Rolled oats, fresh baked bread, honey, brown paper. 

Comments: 

An interesting bourbon, from Texas. Quite spicy, with a cereally bite on the nose, that morphs quite quickly to rolled oats on the tongue and into the finish. There's quite a lot of classic bourbon brown paper notes too.

Verdict:

I like this.
