This is an interesting bourbon. It comes from a small distillery in Lexington and is only distributed within Kentucky. I've had the opportunity to try 3 of their bourbons multiple times at tasting events at The Party Source. It has a lot in common with bourbons that use a higher than normal percentage of malted barley. Think Chattanooga Whiskey. It also shares some characteristics with Ironroot. Sometimes the high percentage corn bourbons aged in the Deep South can mimic higher malt bourbons, at least in my experience. It's good, it's different, but I would try this before you buy.
