Loved KC before this release and as soon as it hit the shelves, I was eager to try. The age does this juice wonders. Good nose, amazing pallet, excellent finish. Perfect bourbon. When Breaking picked this as their #1 overall, I was like, “as you should.”

Sweet vanilla cornbread in an oak baking tray with just the right amount of proof. Perfect for my pallet.

N: hay with hints of vanilla, caramel, and baking spice P: nose continues and carries a solid punch of alcohol F: med-long and good, slight hug, cream soda Burn: med

N: grassy field, hay P: same F: short and sweet Burn: low

N: sweet buttered popcorn, butterscotch P: classic bourbon mixed with sweet corn on the cob F: medium and slight white pepper, baking spice mixed with honey and vanilla

N: sweet, hay, powerful P: nose continues into hay and honeysuckle, bit of alcohol punch F: med and sweet Burn factor: low

Stellar. Closest thing to perfect that a whiskey can get.

Color: beautiful copper Aroma: vanilla gingerbread, cinnamon, maple, brown sugar, and ethanol Taste: cinnamon spice and every bourbon thing nice, bold flavor and then it builds into creamy vanilla custard Finish: long, baking spices and warmth Smooth factor: B-

Color: copper Aroma: crisp apple pie and light oak notes Taste: saweeeet hit initially and then baking spices and vanilla propagate as it coats the mouth Finish: surprisingly long and satisfying, creamy and tingly Smooth factor: B+

Color: amber Aroma: sweet cream, butterscotch, caramel, and vanilla BOMB Taste: every bit a classic bourbon sweet vanilla taste but with the wonderfully complex charred oak and spice that lingers and reminds you this IS a whiskey. Finish: almost perfect carryover from the palate, warm without a burn, and leaves you wanting another sip. Smooth factor: A Best part is the price. Worst part is finding it.
