My first experience with this bourbon involved barrel no. 209, bottled on 12/19/16, which I got on sale for about $25 (750ml). Overall, I find this to be an approachable (especially for non-bourbon drinkers), pleasant and well-crafted bourbon with a nose that is light on the alcohol, apples, toffee, cream, and somewhat of a coffee note. On the pallet, the toffee and coffee'ish notes are apparent. The finish is brief, non-lingering, but not bad. This is an excellent value for the price point.
