Sweet and nutty off the sip but a little harsh on the finish for its price point. Drop a slow melter in there or a splash of water and it becomes a little more enjoyable. Honestly, I would try this before paying the price for this bottle. There are many other bourbons at this price point that are more memorable and less hype than this one. If this was a 35$ bottle I would pop 4 stars on the rating but the high price point and Nickleback style bottling makes it a solid 3.
