Very nice whiskey. It is smooth but deceivingly hot and spicy. Very buttery and toasty. Toasted oat is a prevailing taste. Think Honey Nut Cheerios for the really grown up! I am not a fan of typical assertive boubons with smokey undertones or finishes. I am not a rye fan either so this fits the bill nicely! Really good stuff. Only $24.95 in NC for the month of June 2018. What a deal.
