Give this a few minutes to let it open and you will be rewarded with sweet butterscotch, coconut and banana fruits, nuttiness of pecans as well a bit of and floral. The palate is rewarded with a thin, velvety body that reveals an initial blast of brown sugar and gives way to vanilla and oak with a pinch of rye spice. The palate is left oaky and bitter and last for a good length of time. A touch of water is recommended and enhances the brown sugar sweetness and lessens the bitterness on the finish. A very good, easy sipping sweet bourbon at a reasonable price that can be enjoyed anytime and should be shared. [$43][88/100][Whisky on the Hudson 9/18/14; Opened: 5/15/16;7/8/16]
