Wow what a great $20-30 bourbon! I had it neat and with two ice cubes. First neat, the nose is sweet and full of vanilla and some carmal and lots of woody oaky notes, the pallet is vanilla sweet and a good dose of mid to long finish spice. A bit of an aftertaste that I couldn’t put my finger on that I didn’t love. But the nose and flavor out weight the aftertaste.
Second on ice, wow this is the way to drink this for me! Neat was good ice was great! The nose is still full of vanilla and oak, mellowed a little. The pallet is vanilla and sweeter than neat. The ice must draw more of the sweet notes out. Definitely less spice but still has some spice on the finish. The ice removes the aftertaste that I got when neat. Great on ice! Good neat! Great for $20-30!
