Nose - Sweet oaky vanilla, hint of cinnamon & cloves, dark caramel sweetness.
Taste - Lightly oaky, vanilla coke, caramel/toffee sweet, light cinnamon bitter.
Finish - Lingering vanilla/caramel coke sweet, lightly creamy, light cinnamon spice heat, faint sweet oaky bitterness.
Score - 80/100
Final Thoughts - This is a very light an inoffensive bourbon from start to finish. It's a great "generic" bourbon from start to finish with a slightly more oaky presence throughout. Classic notes on the nose, typical on the palate with a hint more caramel sweet and oaky bitter, but overall very sippable. Best neat or used in cocktail where a lighter bourbon is needed like a Paper Plane. Would be great to use as an intro bourbon for people new to bourbon, maybe with a tiny bit of water to soften it up even more or a single ice cube.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - No
Would I buy a bottle? - No, I most likely won't get another bottle.
