CONCLUSION: Solid bourbon to have on hand, might buy again, but it probably isn't the best value around. That said, I'm not disappointed. NOSE: Ethanol, sweetness, light oak PALATE: Underwhelming, but very smooth. Well balanced classic flavor profile and spice. Pleasant sweetness. Watery mouth feel is pleasant if it fits the mood, which also gives way to the flavor dissipating quickly. Although the ethanol aroma is evident in the nose, it's quite subtle on the palate.
