So I do not normally buy bourbon with a plastic screw off top… but oh my! This was on the allocation table at one of my local ABC stores and at $17 how could I not give it a go! LOL I have tried some others in this orice range and got what I expected but this is a great surprise! A fantastic range of flavor and not harsh as one might expect. I added 4 drops of water to this tasting and it became a very pleasant sipper. Maybe just a tad more heat on the tounge than i would prefer but certainly not objectionable. At the price, certainly one to keep around the bar.
