This is a well balanced bourbon that i find quite pleasing. On the nose it is sweet with vanilla and ripe cherries. The palate finds much the same with some light spice and brown sugar. This one finishes clean with comforting warmth. One note for PA residents...buy it anywhere else. It retails for about $10 less in every other state to include the old Stitzle Weller Distillery (the Bulliet Whiskey Experience in Louisville, KY).
