[7.21.18] Drank this at a 3-yr-old's birthday party. Luckily for all involved, the parents were great hosts. So call it the situation, or the Southern Tier bourbon just before (not so good), but I'd call this a high 3. Pretty good; I'd keep this around the house if we didn't already have dozens to drink. Easy drinker for the proof. This is pretty fruity, sweet, malty. Some vanilla but not much of the darker, tannin flavors or char that I associate with a good bourbon. Useful for your weaker friends who want to feel like they can drink a bourbon neat.
