I bought this bottle due to the price, $24.99 and the 95 point rating it received. Once I got home I was disappointed to see the negative reviews it received, thinking that I wasted $25. I think it's okay...I've certainly had better but by no means is it terrible. It lacks serious flavor and a meaningful after taste. Immediately I made the association that this belongs to the B-team of bourbons. Certainly not a top performer but does an okay job. That said, I'm glad I gave it a try but would not buy it again
