With whiskey, it seems rare to get more than that for which you've paid, which is why this dram is a bit of a rarity. It's not great, but for $15 USD, it is more than serviceable. On the nose, at first it presents vanilla and a bit of ethanol, but after 10 minutes or so, it brings grain, creamed corn, and wood to the party. On the palate, it starts sweet with vanilla and marshmallow cream, and tends toward oaky mid palate with some baking spice. The finish is short with a smidgen of tannin bitterness. All in all, it is an okay dram. It's just not as complex or challenging as some more premium bourbons. It's easy drinking (crushable) neat, and also works well in cocktails. Weighing price into the evaluation, I give this 85 points for a scant four stars, since 3.5 isn't available. This is certainly worth picking up if you need a cheap but solid bourbon on hand to make Old Fashionds or Whiskey Sours for guests.
