tasted this against Jim Beam black and Evan Williams. surprised by how it had a ketone taste like acetone in nail polish remover compared to the other two. It had a stronger pleasant nose in comparison but couldn't enjoy with the ketone taste. I'm a chemist so I'm familiar with acetone. I wasn't crazy about the this bourbon the first time i tried it and I like it less now. This bottle will stay in the liquor cabinet until a friend wants to drink it.
