I just finished my first bottle and was delighted with the bourbon inside. The bourbon is from the Buffalo Trace distillery and is a very good low-cost high-proof bourbon. I bought this about two months ago and have sipped it and made several drinks from it. It is too hot for me to sip but with ice or water, it is better. On the nose, it is oaky and sweet with hints of vanilla and spice. It coats the glass nicely but is kind of thin. The first thing I taste is vanilla and then ethanol. The body was not as full as I thought it should be but it was not bad. The finish was nice and woody with notes of vanilla and caramel. Where this bourbon really shines is in drinks like the Old Fashion and Manhattans. The drinks are very strong so have your big boy drinking pants on. The flavor is great as the bourbon holds its own in both of these drinks. Overall, this is a solid high-proof bourbon and is well worth trying. I do want to try all of the different bourbons in this line.
