The nose shows a nice, balanced profile, likely thanks to adequate airing, with subtle acetone that doesn't overpower. This bourbon has a unique apricot note that’s unusually intense for a bourbon, with classic caramel and vanilla elements. There’s a hint of yeast bread, typical in wheated bourbons, which may not be to everyone’s liking but isn’t overwhelming.The spread of apricot, orange, and fizzy sensations creates a pleasant experience. Without any rye notes, it feels smooth, if a bit tame. The yeast bread characteristic of wheated bourbons appears, but it doesn’t detract from the overall profile.
