Dark color, undoubtedly from the Cabernet Sauvignon barrel finish. Abundant vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch. Extremely smooth drinking. At 90 proof, there isn't much burn. It performs above its category. A great pour for the money. Huge value! 93 points.

Remarkably forgettable. Once it's gone, it feels as though it never existed. Not bad, just incredibly generic.
The port cask finishing makes the bourbon excessively sweet for my liking, though it's smooth and has classic bourbon characteristics.
Can be enjoyed on its own or mixed. Excellent value. It sips smoothly and has a pleasant warmth at the end.
A satisfying burn. It's smooth and dangerously drinkable, both neat and on the rocks. Adding ice elevates it significantly.
Pleasantly balanced and warming, with subtle notes of Cabernet showing through on the finish.
