NOSE
A youthful corn-filled scent fully envelops my glass. Along with the corn, a healthy dose of vanilla, sweet plantains, and light oak are layered in. The slightest hint of ethanol is also present. The nose is far from impressive, and I would be shocked to think this is anything older than 2 years if I didn’t already know it to be 4 years old based on BiB label requirements.

Palate
Corn, rich vanilla, dried banana chips, toasted oak, and mixed nuts are all present and easy to pick out thanks to a light mouthfeel. As the name suggests it is quite mellow, which is likely a result of the high corn mashbill combined with being aged in used Heaven Hill barrels. Despite the 100 proof, it’s quite manageable, which allows me to roll this around my mouth for a while trying to pick out flavors. However come to find out it’s not really necessary, since the palate’s overall flavor profile errs on the simple side. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though, since its flavor profile, while mediocre, is still enjoyable.
