This bourbon packs a serious punch. It has a nosebleedingly potent aroma of ethanol that basically all but drowns out the feeble whispers of maple and vanilla. It's unsurprisingly bitter and sharp, with a flavor like drinking vanilla extract and eating orange rind at the same time. This is exactly the right bourbon to drink when you want to feel like you've been punched in the face. Luckily I'm a masochist, which means I'm ranking it slightly above average.25.0 USD per Bottle

This may be one of my favorite whiskies of all time. Its aroma is maple-forward with vanilla and a hint of pepper. Flavor-wise, it’s just spicy enough, rich with vanilla, with a seemingly infinite finish and a nice lingering burn. I had this to accompany a sweet peanut butter pie dessert and it was a PERFECT foil.Nobie's

Tasting neat; this bourbon has a beautiful, comforting aroma of cherry, vanilla, and wood, with a spicy hit even on the nose. It's not very complex, but it's delicious: equal parts bitter orange and sweet vanilla, not cloying and with a long, warming finish. Its biggest flaw is a bit of unpleasant bitterness in the long aftertaste, but this can be over looked.

I'm a tequila noob, tasting this as part of a flight. There's something odd about this one. It has a mildly sweet aroma, but on the palate, it has a strong artificial vanilla taste that mingles only faintly with the sharp bitterness of citrus pith. It's thin-bodied and almost candy-like; it tastes like drinking straight vanilla extract. I can see how it'd be an inoffensive choice, but its lack of complexity and artificiality makes it hard to recommend.

Tequila novice, tasting this a part of a flight. This one is delicious! It boasts a funky, earthy, mushroomy aroma; it has a thick body and tastes like salty portobello mushrooms--but somehow in a pleasant way, even for someone like me, who is not a mushroom lover. Its rich umami salinity makes it intriguing and delicious.

I'm a lover of straight spirits, but most familiar with bourbon. This is definitely a special treat. I easily enjoy it as much as my favorite bourbons. It has a smoky, spicy cinnamon-and-vanilla smell that evokes the dessert. It has a beautiful flavor--floral, sweet, and a little herbaceous, with a twinge of citrus. A bright, prickly foretaste mellows into heavy vanilla and candied orange that lingers on the tongue. If you, too, are a bourbon drinker, I'd recommend this. It's fantastic, like a bourbon lightened and freshened up for spring. It's convinced me that I absolutely want to explore more of this spirit.86.31 USD per Bottle

Hmm...in contrast to my previous review, I actually loved this bourbon this time. THe more I tasted it, the more it grew on me. Perhaps it needs to be sampled in isolation. It has simple aromas of vanilla, cola, and maple syrup, but it has a taste of cherries and smoke and a the bitterness of citrus pith that quickly flashes into a serrano-spicy kick that echoes...and echoes...and echoes, almost rye-like. At first sip, it's a little aggressive, but each successive sip is more and more inviting, like easing in to a sauna. I've gotta recommend it, much more highly than I did at first tasting.

This bourbon has an innocently sweet, mouthwatering smell of honey, orange, and hazelnut. On the palate, it's a wave: a brief brust of sweetness fizzles into a lingering finish of joyful spice. Had I not tried it beside an even tastier bourbon, I would've ranked it even higher. As it is, it's excellent at its price point.
