Very smooth bourbon. Nothing special about it IMO to warrant allocations but it faintly reminds me of Makers 46. Nose is reminiscent of my very first whiskey shot I ever did. Taste is smooth and sweet all the way down. Definitely goes down too easy.
The finish is probably my favorite as it reminds me of cherry cough medicine (syrupy good stuff). For $20 it's definitely worth picking up as beginner bourbon and for sharing a dram with friends but don't try to "hunt" this one down as I did (it's not worth stalking delivery days as I did lol). This bourbon was enjoyed neat as all bourbon should.
*update* picked up a lot more cinnamon like big red chewing gum with a lot more spice and a creamy vanilla taste mid palate (I just had cheesecake before having a drink so I’m thinking this may be influencing the creamy vanilla). Also picking up slight honey. Raised the score from a 3.5 to a 3.75. It hit differently tonight after eating dessert but I still don’t think it warrants allocations.
