Reviewed
September 28, 2017 (edited March 14, 2019)
Nose - Sweet vanilla caramels, old cinnamon, faint peanut brittle, touch of leather.
Taste - Fairly thin but drying, sweet vanilla caramel, hint of peanut brittle sweet, cinnamon/white pepper spice, hint of bitter peanut shells, faint dried cherry sweet at the very end.
Finish - Long lingering cinnamon/white pepper spice, slowly fades to a oaky vanilla brown sugar simple sweet, hint of peanut shell bitterness lingers.
Score - 75/100
Final Thoughts - Overall a decent bonded bourbon. Fairly boring nose but makes up for it on the palate. I enjoy the vanilla caramel notes with the spice, but the peanut shell bitterness is a little offputting, although the slight dried cherry finish helps. It's a decent bourbon overall, wouldn't turn down a pour at a bar. I can see this being a great mixer for pretty much everything while still being able to hold its own neat or with some ice.
