NEAT NOSE - Caramel, Vanilla, and Oak PALATE - The palate follows the nose. Unfortunately, as soon as the flavors hit the palate, they dissapear almost immediately. This is this bourbon’s biggest flaw, but for it’s price its a good bourbon with quintessential notes. The finish is just non-existent. Mildly sweet. FINISH - Painfully short. BUY? - It’s a great bottle for the price, but it’s nothing special. I’d get a bottle atleast once to see if it’s a one time thing or a mainstay for you and your bar/collection. BUY AGAIN? - Probably not. The finish is too short for me on this one.
