Great Jones Bourbon 750

Taking a sip, the first thing you get is some rich and deep brown sugar and vanilla that someone has torched for just a touch too long in places and slightly charred. That is joined pretty quickly by a prominent black pepper and apple combination (which is typical of rye-based spirits), and then develops into something closer to general baking spices — cinnamon, nutmeg, that kind of thing. On the finish, that sweetness returns and leaves this toffee caramel flavor with some slightly charred brown sugar impression behind.
