We like the blend here. It has a lot of warmth. Vanilla, toffee, caramel, and brown bread. The body is medium heavy, with a fairly long finish. Slightly dry, and a warming ginger-like heat at the tail end. A real bargain for the whiskey enthusiast looking for an affordable bottle that will please everyone but the most snobbish. Nice for sipping, but also a real hit in classic bourbon cocktails.
