Tasting Notes
"In comparison to some past Master's Collection releases, such as those aged in Sonoma-Cutrer wine barrels, this year's (2015) bourbon made with white corn instead of yellow is a subtle departure from tradition. “Subtle” is a good descriptor for this bourbon, too. It's soft on the palate, light-bodied, a little bit floral, and has a lingering vanilla finish. It's a restrained bourbon, not bombastic in any dimension, and a delightful whiskey to sip neat."
