Feels simple. Caramel, cherry, vanilla, quintessential bourbon notes. Frankly tastes a bit thin, especially at 45%. In my opinion, it’s a good bourbon at its MSRP of 25-30 dollars, but is vastly overhyped. I’d never pay over MSRP for this, nor would I go to more than one store looking for it. Great whiskey to mix or use in cocktails, but don’t let yourself be fooled into spending over $50 for this bottle when there are many bottles like a four roses, larceny, 1792, etc. that you can get first without paying that much.
