This is a straight down the middle bourbon with simple flavors cranked up to 11 and no surprises. If your a fan of whiskey, the nose is promising, showing strong oak / age / possible complexity notes, however its just a tease. Its more caramel than cherry, but there is some dark red fruit way in the background. Medium finish, but bitter, and inviting for another sip. Not worth the $60 IMO, but its close. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.
