Great light yellow amber color. Lots of spice and warmth on the nose comes in velvety. Some apples and maybe a bit of pear follow. The taste is soft up front and takes a bit to come on. Reminds me of flat - maybe even watered down - coca cola. Fruity and rooty, but not overtly so. Finish is short with mild burn. Easy to drink but ultimately limited in what it is and has to offer. Still, not a bad budget bourbon.
