Okay so I was really looking forward to tasting this as we have it rarely here in Montreal. Wow. For the price range it's by far the best KY bourbon I've tried and I mean in this price range so yes Blanton or weller 12 is better you get the picture? Great let's keep going so after few months waiting I've got it. Nose: Oak, caramel Palate: Brown sugar, spice, toffee, oak, leather Mouth feel: creamy Finish: medium Overall: A great pour for the money, is there better sure but you have to pay extra 40+ bucks sometimes more depending where you are located. Solid 8/10
