Purchase from the early 2010s. Drank many, but put away this bottle until last week. Tasted neat.
Fruity sweet grain nose, with a little ethanol shining through. Big warm sweet cereal, vanilla, dried fruit, and an ethanol burst on first taste. Warm and viscous, soft and rich, with a warm red-copper color in the glass. Spicy rye and pepper builds in a long finish.
Great taste and price point, although it has gotten harder to find and more expensive than mid-2010s when I bought this regularly to mix Manhattans. Soft sweet wheated bourbon worth sipping, with some umph at 107 proof. I like the new bottle style vs this rounded bomb with a neck, but the juice isn't different from what I can tell. Still quality wheated bourbon at an elevated ABV.
