Tastes

Bought at Trader Joe's March, 2018 for $22.95. To my palate, lacking evidence of sufficient aging; tastes closer to corn liquor than all other bourbons I've tried. Very mild flavor, no bitterness, but no complexity. My preferred bourbons have at least a 51% corn mashbill which is why I tried this one.

The sweet syrupy maple flavoring completely obscures the flavor of the bourbon. I had to cut it with a non-flavored bourbon by 50% in order to finish the bottle. As all flavored bourbons seem to be, this is targeted at the youth market. Much sweeter than Hudson Maple Cask (which I also found to be too sweet.)
