Partially reneging on my previously lukewarm reaction to the ubiquitous BT. Been trying to clear older bottles off the shelf so decided to kill this one. I think this one doesn’t stand up well in direct comparisons, but on its own is just a really well-balanced bourbon at the $25 price point. All the classic bourbon flavors, toward the sweeter end, but with a solid and very welcome hit of oak and astringency to balance it out. As a casual sipper, no complaints. Had been holding onto the end of this bottle for a side-by-side with a BT store pick, so opened that and the main difference was the store pick was missing 80% of the oak, perhaps intended for gentler palates. I prefer the everyday bottle by a clear margin.
