I bought this on Fred Minnick’s review and I agree with him wholeheartedly. This is excellent. It is light and refreshing and I get a sort of strawberries and champagne flavor note to it on top of a subtle whiskey background. This should NOT be compared to any sort of Kentucky bourbon. My wife can’t stand bourbon and thinks this is yummy. So go in with open eyes, but what a nice bottle to have in the mix for a change of pace or friends who aren’t bourbon aficionados.
