a lighter more fruity and floral bourbon. smooth with a punch, but lack the warmth found in my favorite bourbons. nose is honey, vanilla, oak. bitter alcohol taste fades quickly to notes of honey and other pleasant flavors associated with bourbon. tangy orange finish rather than burning warm. cant say i like this bourbon. taste is refined but i find it inferior to other common bourbons. Evan Williams, Jim Beam, Old Grand-Dad, and Wild Turkey 101 are all better spirits for the price
