Nice. Had wanted to try this for a while, I’m at the in-laws for Christmas and wanted to sip on this for the week...and they had a smaller bottle at the local liquor store. So...here we go. Nose: More going on than I expected. Red apple, banana, brown sugar and an undertone of char. Cinnamon and salted peanuts as well, assuming from the high rye mash bill. Taste: Unfortunately, it’s thin. Vanilla, banana, musty hay and light oak elements. Finish: Sticks with you for a while. Cinnamon and brown sugar linger, as well as some pleasant vanilla oakiness. Cherry shows up randomly as well. Overall: Nice, friendly bourbon. Wish it were a slightly higher proof, because the taste is the most mediocre part of this experience. Nose and finish are actually quite pleasant. This feels like a good bourbon for early in your whiskey journey, and a nice background whiskey. Would I buy for $30? No. Would I drink if offered? For sure.
