  January 31, 2020 - Caramel and orange, still my favorite Van Winkle except for the 23. Nose is absolutely intoxicating.
  
  Floral - touch, more fruit driven
  Sweet - big time, unabashedly corn forward bourbon. Dessert and caramel central. Candied orange.
  Rich - in a robust full way yes
  Nutty - touch of almond
  Spicy - some cinnamon, but I get some spice from the Proof more than possibly the bourbon itself
  Earthy - no
  Smoky - no
  Woody - big time, not as over the top as the 23, but it’s got great aged cedar notes. More on the old oak end.
  Fruit - orange. Orange. Orange.
  Palate - love how the proof lifts this up, nice and spicy. Finish lasts forever. An all time classic for a reason.
