Kentucky Bourbon Festival Capsule Review: Smells like apples. Taste is subtly sweet and watery. Finishes quickly with notes of baking spices. This is hardly a drink you'd desire straight, but that's its purpose. This large, inexpensive bottle was intended for bar use. It's a flexible spirit for mixed drinks that's economical while still being genuine bourbon. This meets those needs perfectly.
