Bulleit 10 Year Bourbon

Nose isn't much to write home about; brown sugar, vanilla and fresh cut plywood. Palate is better, leading with maraschino cherries, followed by caramelized sugar, vanilla and cinnamon before wrapping up with a drying wood astringency. Neat, clean, and sweet with little to offend aside from a weak nose, but also very little to excite. If this was $25 I'd say it was worth a try. At $50, it is decidedly less enticing, and should be passed over while reaching for the Four Roses small batch or single barrel, the WT Rare Breed or Forester 1920.
