Nose: Lots of herbal/botanical notes. Palate: Strong herbal, almost gin like flavors: juniper, anise, fennel, rye with some background sweetness. Finish: Now, more Bourbon flavors, but still pretty heavy on the herbals.
I think this stuff is more aggressive than older versions. Note that while it's distilled by Heaven Hill, it's actually distilled at Brown-Forman, where all of Heaven Hill's rye has been distilled since the 1996 fire, though that is supposed to change as of mid-2011.
