It's 5 year old juice from Heaven Hill (they don't say it outright, but the clues--and the flavour profile--point right to it), and that's fine--except I can get older, better Heaven Hill juice locally for so much cheaper. Not a bad whiskey, it's just hurt by its pricetag and competition. Flavours of chalky vanilla, grape drink cream soda, corn husk, rye. Leather, cinnamon. Caramel corn, cut grass. Chocolate, orange zest, a bit boozey. Banana, custard, a distant lumber yard. Light in the mouth and very "typical" bourbon flavours. Maple, mint. Fine bourbon that does an adequate rendition of what I expect from bourbon. But I'll stick with Evan Williams Black Label or Single Barrel for my Heaven Hill fix.
