This is a super high value whiskey. It's not going to surprise you with its complexity but sometimes that is all you want. Nose: Vanilla, slight orange peel, and (I realize this sounds weird) but honey nut cheerios. Some alcohol bite on the nose as well but this doesn't translate to the flavor. Taste: Vanilla, caramel, dried figs, lemon peel, and (also weird as I say it) brown sugar oatmeal. Not a lot of wood or oak. Very smooth with not a lot of punchiness from the alcohol which surprises me given the cost and relatively young age. Finish: Kind of short but this is to be expected with a younger whiskey. Mostly sweet and citrus. Seriously a great value for this product. Try it and you won't be disappointed. There isn't much nuance to it but it is very much a pure expression of American whiskey (almost bourbon but the barrels) with very balanced flavors.
