The nose on this pour comes across as Maraschino cherries, dusty corn, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It doesn't wow you but hints at what is to come. The same notes explode across your tongue on first sip as the 101 proof carries them beautifully lead by the cherry and dusty corn. I know not all like the dusty note but I love it. The finish is fairly long if not simple. A beautiful cinnamon cherry spice gives you a lengthy fairwell. I know many people say it, but this is simply one of the best value bourbons out there. Even in Manitoba, Canada, the $42 price tag is very approachable. Very happy to have this as my daily pour. I can't see it ever leaving my shelf.
