Thin, simple, underpowered, a little vanilla, a little oak, hint of spice. Hasn't really got much going for it. This is entry-level bourbon; okay for mixing with coke or ginger ale, but then so is vodka. Ubiquitous here in Japan since the Suntory acquisition, and costs $7.00 a bottle (you get what you pay for). Beam does way better whiskeys, their 7 year old Black is pretty decent.
