A favorite of mine to have at restaurants when nothing more interesting is available. It's a good, solid bourbon that works well on the rocks. I had it last night at a dinner with some colleagues and spouses. The spicy nose was discernible from feet away, with cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and oak the predominant notes. The palate is full and continues with vanilla, spice, and woody oak flavors, and adds a dash of caramel. The short to medium finish is oaky with dry tannins cutting short the slight cherry cough syrup note that seems to pervade Brown Forman's bourbon offerings. Thankfully, the cough syrup note isn't as pronounced or as lasting as it is with Old Forester or Cooper's Craft. A reliable bourbon to have on the rocks with dinner, but not one I would sip neat at home. 84/100, 4 stars.
