Good bourbon for the price. Vanilla is prominent on the nose along with fresh cut fruit (maybe pear). Spicy, rye-influenced palate with a lot of oak. Tastes like the smell of trimming my live oak trees. Some spice, too - perhaps clove and cinnamon. Dry, slightly bitter, medium finish. Not my fave, but then again, it doesn't cost as much either. Could hold its own in an Old Fashioned, I'm sure. Dry glass smells of vanilla, wood, and leather.
