Honey colored. Lighter bodied with a silky mouthfeel. Nose: vanilla, crisp apple, and some mild milk chocolate. Also present are some corn sweetness, hints of baking spices, and a slight touch of ethanol but it’s not harsh. Palate: Caramel and vanilla sweetness at the front. Some milk chocolate and soft spice join in the middle. The finish is warming with more spice, very mild oak, and a lingering apple sweetness. This whiskey will always have a special place in my heart since it’s the first bottle I ever bought myself. It’s been my value bourbon for a while, though I couldn’t find any until recently. All of that considered, I give it a 4.2/5 or 4/5 on here. You cannot go wrong with this whiskey at $24.99 a bottle!
