Nose is light and sweet with surprisingly no ethanol burn despite the proof. Palate is thin with sweet notes mixed with light wood finishing with a bit of caramel. Not a bad pour, but disappointing given that I expected more from it. Blind I would score it slightly higher, but it's dragged down due to price leading to higher expectations.
I've seen some reviews absolutely killing this bottle. While I don't think it's anywhere near worth the cost, it's not a terrible pour. For the price I'd expect something more complex. But it is what it is. Of the lineup my preference was premium >> reserve >> signature. Strange how the "entry level" offering was the best and most complex of the lot.
