Tasting Notes
"The aroma is moderately intense with classic vanilla and char smoke notes, but there's also a back note of apples and black cherries there as well. The bourbon is tangy with a nice savory/sweet balance going on along with a touch of leather. The finish is slightly oily with a bittersweet taste and moderate barrel spices. Pretty good value considering the price point ~ $35 which makes it a good daily dram."
