This is quite a good value bourbon right off the top, average nose and subdued flavor characteristics are inoffensive to nearly any whiskey drinker and still offering some tartness and hints of carmels and other sweet flavors. No memorable "special" flavoring in the profile just a good stock character that lets you enjoy it. Finish leaves a slight tart(green apple) and mild warmth. Totally drinkable for the average occasion. Typically found in the 20$ range in cities, give it 2.5 for flavor and another .5 for price point value.
