Tastes

2005 vintage. I think the 96 score is a bit generous. And it wasn't all that cheap for me here in the south at $35 a bottle. Not terribly harsh and not too sweet either. Just about in the middle and not very exciting. There are plenty others better for the same price.

Sweet to start with bananas and spice, little heat to finish. Not too spicy. Pretty decent bourbon especially for the price. I prefer this one with a small cube of ice over neat. Considering this is the same price and Daniels and Beam, but worlds better, why anyone would buy those over this is beyond me. A great every day "bottom shelf" bourbon that can hang with bigger bottles.
