For around $20, RY100 is 4.5 to 5 stars....a superb value. When compared to other mid-shelf Bourbons, 3 - 3.5 stars seems about right. This is a nice sip with no off or weak flavors as one might expect at this price point. But Buyer beware, this Bourbon could be renamed Oak Mountain. Oak is dominant throughout the taste.....front to back it’s Oak, Oak, Oak. Fortunately, it’s a nice oak wallop with some classic Bourbon flavors coming in nicely on the mid-palate and finish. This is not a sweet Bourbon by any stretch, much more a dry and tannic profile done right. Overall, I like this pour, and I friggin’ love it at this bargain basement price. If you have a Bottle of some overly sweet Bourbon taking up space on your bar, try mixing some of it with RY100. No sin here at 20 bucks!
