Mashbill: 70% corn / 16% wheat / 14% malted barley. Abv: 45% Price: $18.99 at Total Wine in Houston, Texas Setting: Neat in a Glencairn, with a fat basset hound snoring loudly next to me. Nose: Apples, cinnamon, oak, maple syrup, and corn. Pleasant, but somewhat muted. (17/25 points) Taste: More of the same – apples, cinnamon, oak, and corn. Pretty standard bourbon notes. (42/50 points) Finish: Short. Oak with a faint metallic note that is a little off. (14/25) points) Conclusion: I’d rate this a serviceable bourbon, as I’ll happily drink it and it runs less than $20 for a bottle. That being said, it’s pretty average and unmemorable (other than perhaps that metallic note, which isn’t a positive). As such, I can’t really recommend this, given that there is so much superior bourbon out there. 73/100
