So store pick, was told 8 years old but based on bottle date can't be over 7.
Nose - distinct wheat finish, vanilla, and a hell of a lot of nutty notes. I'm a bit confused at how nutty this is, very much a heaven hill or jim beam like note.
Taste - very light bourbon but yet i still get a bit of alcohol bite and heat. Honestly, I'm struggling to get past alcohol, nutty notes, and then on the finish vanilla and a hair of oak. There's nothing distinct here.
Full disclosure I bought this thinking it might mix well with coke or rootbeer. It doesn't, it actually disapears to the point I can't tell there's bourbon in the glass. A great thing for a college party, but not really what I want when I'd like to have a nice summer sipper where I still can enjoy some bourbon character.
1 star, nothing wrong with it. It's a bit spirit forward for the age and proof but i tend to find some cheaper bourbons when watered down almost seem more alcohol forward and not less.
Not a bourbon I'd recommend to really anyone. I don't get enough wheater character to justify this as a replacement for other wheats and if you want something nutty maybe try a beam black, imo that's better juice.
