In terms of consistently available, well-priced bourbon, I'm not sure there's anything better. You get barrel-to-barrel variance, and I've had a dud every once in awhile, but those are the exceptions, not the rule, and even those are still pretty solid bottles. At its best, the flavours are intense: Cocoa. plums, raisins. Mint. A fruity spiciness. Rye bread. Apricots? Red fruits (cherry especially, maybe some strawberry). Cherry cola, in fact. Unbelievably distinct hints of cherry cola. Cinnamon. Clove, baking spices. Maple syrup. Caramalized sugars and vanilla. Spicy sweet vision, with fantastic balance between the corn sweetness and rye spice. Love this juice.
