A nice, well-rounded, crowd-pleaser of a bourbon is what we have here. While a little hot on the nose, I got some good mint chocolate, vanilla, and caramel corn notes, with a hint of spice floating around and a little wax. The mouth is waxy and coating, with mint, dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and a peppery, spicy, dill rye note at the end. Not a super long finish, but it's pleasant. It's hard to argue with this given the price, especially considering that it's got enough personality to make a damn fine cocktail, and enough finesse to go down well neat or simply on the rocks.
