Tastes

Right off the bat from the nose you can tell this is sweetened. Although a little too sugary for my preference, it is undoubtedly very smooth and pulls off the vanilla and caramel notes that it promises. All in all, pleasantly surprised at the flavor combo, but too sweet to drink regularly.

Fairly warm and sweet up front with hardly any burn throughout. Tastes what I would think the color amber should taste like and has mild earthy and fruity notes.

Highly underrated bourbon. Probably one of the sweeter ones I have tasted with a very light buttery tone underneath. I think the lower proof actually serves to bring out the classic bourbon flavors and so I would actually prefer this over the white label. Also got a 1.75 L for $20 so that’s pretty unbeatable.

Coming back to this to review a second time. After broadening my horizons a bit, this tastes much richer and sweeter. The slight smokiness combined with the flowery taste is remarkable. The medicinal notes remain, but seem to complement whereas before they seemed overwhelming. Great dram!

Bought a 750ml for $13... tastes about like that. Definitely not bad, especially considering the proof and price. I feel that it lacks any real defining characteristics though. All things said though, I can’t complain!

Fruit and honey on the nose as well as the palate at first. Coats the mouth with a tiny bit of spice, but the fruit flavors remain and mesh with the sweet brown sugar for a great finish.

Interesting bourbon, oily and spicy while still maintaining that classic vanilla and caramel/toffee flavor!

Might be my favorite bourbon so far. This bourbon feels very light when sipped and is just sweet enough to complement the light, almost cinnamon/cloves/gingerbread spice that you taste throughout the middle. Towards the end, the burn definitely comes forward more and eases you down from the sweetness very well.

First blended scotch for me. Definitely picking up sweet citrus flavors right off the bat and hints of other sweet bits that are hard to place... not at all oily like other scotches I’ve had so the finish feels much lighter. Very easy to drink and I bet it would make really good cocktails!

Very sweet smell to it and the flavor is little spice and heavy vanilla- pretty short finish, so I find it goes down pretty quick if you want to hold on to the taste. Perfect to sip while outside enjoying a nice spring day. Best thing about it is price and it tastes good to mix up in whichever way your heart desires.
