The corn nose leads me to smelling bananas. I like bananas but not banana flavored anything. However, this does not give me banana taste and it is a fantastic treat that is well worth the price. 36 doll-hairs ($) for a 1.75 liter.... what else can I say. Well worth trying for most bourbon lovers, it’s light, sweet, and smooth. Great bargain. The rep as a gateway bourbon is accurate. 3.1/5
