The UK version of this is a very ordinary 40% rather than the slightly more interesting US version at 45%. Nose: Penny caramel, vanilla and an odd artificial sugary sweetness. Palate: Sweet sugary coffee, bitter spices, more of the oak and coffee and a large hit of vanilla and fruit (raisins and apples) Finish: There is a medium long finish, but not necessarily in a good way. More toffee, artificial sweetness and spices that quickly sour in the aftertaste. Overall, this is a fairly average bourbon. It’s a decent price point for what you get. There is nothing wrong with this at all, it’s just a bit ‘meh’. It works pretty well in a cocktail, but as a dram on its own, there are better bourbons out there
