I can't believe this is in the under $30 range!! I've had bourbons Half as good and twice as much ( I'm looking at you Forged Oak, Rhetoric, and Barterhouse!). The nose is a sweet marzipan. Taste is smooth vanilla with a touch of wood, finish is long cinnamon. Aside from the price and taste, what i really about this is that it's totally devoid of the over done marketing hype. You don't get a sexy made up backstory of some possibly lost barrel in Stitzel Weller, or a fancy but useless wooden stand ( yes, you Highland Park Norse gods series), or some sexy name that translates into a deer once spotted by the spring near the distillery, it's down to earth, humble, and full of flavor. Just as simple as that, and priced well enough that we don't have to refinance our house ( I'm looking at you Macallan )
