In summary, which I will do at the beginning as well as the end of this review, this is a stunning, fun to drink, juicy and sweet bourbon. I am generally not a fan of Bourbons perhaps because of the mash bill that emphasizes a spiciness and the Char of white oak barrels. But this one, along with Maker's Mark could be daily drinkers for me. LOL, if I could afford this one. I honestly don't know the price because I bought it as a 3-pack of 200 ml. bottles-- rye, bourbon and one other whiskey I don't recall at the moment. Hell, it was a weekend of Chicago Whiskey Fest in March 2018, how much of that could I possibly remember?? All were excellent! Right off the bat, and a 47% ABV bottling, there's the usual bourbon turpentine, furniture polish, cherry wood furniture stain... All of this adds to the complexity and delights, not making it gross or chemical-smelling (other than wafts of bourbon-tainted ethanol) in any significant way. Certainly the alcohol is strong. But I have no desire to dilute this, the flavor is intense and delightful! It must be the corn and Millet together, I wish more Bourbons or whiskeys of any sort used this mix. It would vastly enhance the taste and probably increase the customer base. (Women tend to enjoy sweeter drinks-- and cinnamon flavored whiskey, as well as brandy like Hot Damn is a hot seller among women, I hear.) On to my review of the taste, which will be grossly insufficient due to my infamously coarse palate: There is a richness and sweetness that does not resolve into specific tastes, though dates, mangoes and mild citrus fruits like kiwi come to mind. Certainly the sweetness bears a resemblance to toffee and for some reason I want to keep on drinking and drinking and drinking this. They have done *something* right, although I cannot pinpoint the exact dimensions and contents and methods of their incredibly wiley alchemy, expressed as bourbon distilling perfection! Let me admit this as a final perhaps fatal flaw in my taste buds, if only to entertain bourbon aficionados: I gave up my Chicago Whiskey Fest tasting pour, (the booth towards which hundreds literally ran!) the remainder of the Pappy Van Winkle 23-year old Family Reserve to my friend--because it essentially did *nothing* great for me. I knew he would enjoy it and for a whiskey that sells currently at $2,800-$4000 a bottle, my lack of appreciation was almost a crime! In praise of Koval, I would trade, if based on taste alone (certainly I would make an investment calculation in the real world!) that 23 y.o. Pappy for half a bottle of Koval bourbon! That's how damn freaking good this stuff is! Okay, it may be faint praise for Koval from an (evident) "sherryhead" with only three to four years intensive whiskey tasting experience. Be that as it may, should this whiskey gain a widespread audience, it could surpass Maker's Mark as THE entry level whiskey for bourbon beginners, and perhaps help create an entire new, expanding market for bourbon that omitts rye and adds varying levels of complexity, variation and sweetness, based in this case on millet, grain I find far more appealing (mostly because it's sweeter) than the rye portion of the mash bill in most bourbons.
