One of the best bourbons in the $25 price point. I've heard this one billed as primarily a mixing bourbon but I enjoy it's flavors greatly sipped neat. To me it's a quintessential bourbon with all the right flavors at the right price. Enjoyed neat in a Glencairn. Nose is primarily floral and somewhat fruity with smokey barrel wood and light tobacco with caramel and spice undertones. Palate starts lightly sweet with grain and caramel, bright citrus, and nice rye cinnamon spiciness followed up with delicious woody barrel and tobacco flavors punching through. Finish is medium length and wood/tobacco dominate. I love more wood char and rich tobacco notes in my bourbon and this one is right up my alley. Not a overly complex pour but nonetheless a great daily sipper with plenty of flavors for the $. For a NDP bourbon, I'm surprised how much I like this one, but I suppose it hits just the right woody/tobacco character that I find appealing. It's also what I'd consider a brighter bourbon with the brighter citrus forward flavor. Even though I could drink this one any time of year, I think the bright floral citrusy nature would lend itself well as a great summer sip. Cheers!
