Bought this as a date vacation splurge. Bright nose with honey, vanilla, oak sawdust, nuts, cherry, peach—and naturally, corn and rye. Age shows up on the tongue as a soft, complex sip. The notes from the nose appear with cherry and apple playing a big role. Pecan and mild baking spices. Plenty going on, and i think there are more flavors to tease out. But if I didn’t know better i’d think it was a fruity bourbon. Cherry pie finish could be a bit longer. But very good. Does it justify the price point…which for me unfortunately was $10 over MSRP? As a pragmatist who can buy better whiskies for less, I’d be forced to say no. I want higher proof and more pronounced flavors for over $100. Whiskey adventurers with cash to burn may think differently.
