Tasting Notes
"There's not much finesse to this bourbon, but it does the trick. It's an "old man whiskey" that tastes a bit musty, with some strong varnish elements and warm spices. It does have a soft side with a bit of vanilla and toffee, but leaves a fiery punch and tastes hotter than its 40% ABV."
