This is a five star bourbon in the $20 range. Clearly, it’s he best wheated bourbon in that price range(for me). I wouldn’t pay more than that (other than to just try it for the sake of having a bottle.) There are so many other good, $20ish bourbons. I get cherries and vanilla in the nose, with a soft, sweet vanilla and caramel in the palate. The finish is short, dry, and dusty. A little thin.
