tldr: I don’t know if I’d pay more than retail for this (about $65 in KY) but it’s definitely good at its price point especially considering the lack of 12-year options on the shelves. Nose: sweet honey, raisins, cinnamon, hunts of grass and hay...oak finally comes in at the end but it’s by no means an oaky bourbon even at 12 years. Taste: spicy nutmeg and other baking spices, hint of peppercorn and one last hint of honey Finish: medium finish, very little bite This reminds me a lot of Old Forester 100, which is way cheaper and super easy to find. That just doesn’t have the complexity of the KC12yr. But both are excellent bourbons.
