I did not jibe with this bourbon a ton. It tastes and smells young but not in a particularly pleasant way. The graininess just provides an unpleasant overall note to the bourbon. I otherwise get nice sweetness, some spicness as well on the palate. The finish is short and wheaty. At the end of the day i just eant more out of the bourbon and its too expensive to justify buying again.

A relatively young bourbon. I get a lot of those young grainy notes in it but they are surprisingly not in a bad way. A lot of those traditional bourbon flavors come through, like caramel, vanilla, a little bit of oak. But that pleasant graininess is almost a defining characteritic here and what sets this bourbon apart. Its right around the area where i like my bourbon at 100 proof, its got a ncie pleaseant finish that doesnt last too long or too short. Its definitely worth a try and id buy anothe bottle if i could fine it for less than $40.

On the bose and palate, i get a litltr bit if that ethanol smell and taste but its not overbearing. On the nose i get more of the sweet notes of bourbon, and that translates to the palate as well. I also grt the signature peanut beam note. The finish is nothing exceptional, not particularly strong or long lasting. A fine bourbon, I personally want more out of it but at the price its competitove and provides a good flavor profile.

An extremely delicious Anejo. All of the main things youre looking for in a solid anejo are here. You get the sweetness from caramel and vanilla, the slight bitterness from the oak, some floral agave flavor, and some ever so slight hints of slice on the finish. Its also incredibly smooth and easy to drink. Its a little expensive and my biggest knock against it. Id also like it a little more if it was a tad stronger, closer to 90 proof. Neither consequence is so major that id wouldnt buy it again.

Nose: Sweet with Rye Spice. Vanilla with pepper and Pine Palate: A nice blend of rye spice and traditional bourbon flavors like vanilla, oak. I would describe it as bourbon friendly rye. Finish: Medium-Short with a slightly viscous mouthfeel. Rye spice delivers a fairly nice finish. Overall a solid whisky. Bourbon friendky that i think is perfect for cocktails. Can be drunk on its own but probably not my first choice

Nose: Pine and Mint are the two big things that come through. Vanilla and oak take a back seat but are slightky there. Palate: Nose translates almost identically, I do wish the flavors were a little more full. Not too complex. Finish: Fairly short and mouthfeel is thin. A decent mixer whisky. I dont think it stands up well enough in its own to sip. If you want the rye flavor i think its good and cheap enough for cocktails.

Nose: Fairly straightforward, oak, vanilla and honey come in and deliver. Slight notes of baking spices and oak. Palate: nose translates fairly well. There is a slight tang at the end of it that i cant quite put my finger on that isnt my favorite experience. But besides that its a fairly well rounded and solid whisky. Finish. Short-medium with a decent mouthfeel. Honey is the main thing i get off of it. Overall a solid mid shelf whisky that delivers on classic bourbon flavors. The only major point to dislike it is the price point is higher than a lot of similar whiskys which lowers its appeal.

Nose: very sweet, rich red fruit, some vanilla and oak as well. Smaller presence of baking spices, and tobacco. Palate: bakiny spices come in stronger here. Kostly cinnamon and coriander. Fruit flavors and vanilla take a backseat, so less sweet and more spicy. Finish: medium finish with a solid mouthfeel. Oak and vanilla come back in the finish to give it a nice rounded experience. Overall a really solid whisky with some moderate complexity. Proof isnt overbearing and the flavor is quite exceptional. Definitely worth buying.
