Not a bad bourbon. But definitely not worth the $55 it sells for. It should go for about half that figure. It's smooth, and though the nose and palate are off-putting at first, they grew on me. It's good stuff. However, there are much better options at that sell for far less. It's worth having at a bar or at a friend's house, but I wouldn't go out of your way to get a bottle of your own. 2.75 stars, mainly because it just doesn't stack up to others in its weight class.
