Tasting Notes

A bonded 100-proof bourbon at a price that barely seems possible, though distribution is patchy outside Kentucky. Unremarkable in the best way: it does everything a bourbon should and nothing extra.

Nose

caramel, corn, light oak, vanilla

Palate

brown sugar, mild spice, grain, oak

Finish

medium, warm, straightforward

Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned, cocktails.
