This would receive a much higher review if it didn't cost 3 times as much as some of my favorites. Very smooth, minimal ethanol burn with in your face cherry/fruit on the front, followed by a strong toasty vanilla finish that really lingers on the best way. 30 seconds later it was still "evolving" on the palate. Overall a solid, viscous, delicious bourbon. However, aside from the finish there's nothing special to it and the price tag brings it down to just mediocre territory.
