Tasting Notes
"There's a sweet vanilla note along with some red berry fruit, light oak, toasted nuts, and dried herbal notes. On the palate, the bourbon has an average body and a tangy quality. The merlot wine finish is on the light side -- perhaps too light. A nice bourbon, but it's not an earth-shattering experience. "
