OK let’s get a couple things out-of-the-way. This is a budget price bottom shelf bourbon, secondly I was told I have become somewhat of a bourbon snob (an accolade typically reserved for scotch drinker’s LOL). so can a “bourbon snob” enjoy a bourbon for under $15, if it’s this bourbon I can. Now make no mistake, you can’t compare this bourbon to your standard in the $25 or above price range, it is what it is. There is plenty of butter and peanuts with lots of vanilla in the body. It lacks the smoothness and fuller body mouth feel, and there is a little bit of the “twang” on the finish. When you compare this to other bourbons in this price range, this one stands out - it’s good.
