Tasting Notes

The bottle that made wheated bourbon mainstream. Soft, sweet, and deliberately low on spice and oak, with baked bread and honey doing most of the work. Consistency is its real feature.

Nose

vanilla, caramel, baked bread, faint fruit

Palate

sweet caramel, soft wheat, honey

Finish

short, sweet, clean

Best enjoyed neat, rocks, cocktails, highball.
