👃: Cherry Candy, Oak, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Raisins, Black Pepper

👅: Pepper, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Mint, Raisins, Charred Oak, Citrus

🏁: Medium peppery finish with hints of tobacco and peppermint

Top shelf. This is one of the best of the Buffalo Trace distillery offerings in this calendar. Swishing for a few seconds brings out a lot more woody notes and stretches the peppermint finish a lot. At the $40 MSRP, this is an absolute steal. Most places around here that have it are listing it at around $180, though I do see it listed at one place for $88. I'd consider it at that price.
