Tasting Notes

"It's pretty hard to find a good quality bourbon at this price point, but this is certainly one of them. You can't go wrong with a whiskey for $20 a bottle that tastes like a melted down oatmeal raisin cookie (molasses, brown sugar, sweet cereal, vanilla, baking spices—and those raisins are the slightly tart kind). The cinnamon, clove and nutmeg notes are well integrated, and play good hosts as they both greet the palate and also take everything into the finish. The whiskey is slightly woody and a little hot in the finish, but a really decent sipper for what it is. Gonna be darn good in a sour or Manhattan too. "
