Tasting in a Glencairn glass with 1 teaspoon of water. Aroma : The first immediate note here is a beef-stew quality, wood sap, light vanilla and a nearly undetectable hint of green apple. Taste : A bit hard to pinpoint any one single flavor going on here. Icing, light brown sugar, a fleeting hint of dark fruit and perhaps mild honeycomb. Final Thoughts : A decent bourbon. The aroma isn’t the best and the flavor is tasty enough, but nothing to write home about. For the price point you could do a lot worse. While I can’t say I’d necessarily buy this one again, I’m decently pleased with it.
