Paisley Reinhardt 3.0

The aroma is like a caramel pie with a hint of corn and orchard fruit and a slight vegetal quality, but it largely comes across as a standard bourbon. The palate has a high-rye profile with a good amount of spice and hits the right notes for a 'standard bourbon.' The finish is sweet and straightforward, with just enough spice and oak to keep it engaging.

Laura Needham 3.5

Notes of cherry, apple, caramel, and vanilla. The palate is sweet with toasted caramel, blackberries, and peach.

Kimberley Lyons 2.5

Not as sweet as anticipated; the mash contains too much corn for my preference.

Gail Magee 4.0

Very pleasant and flavorful. Light and enjoyable.

Otto Bonilla 4.5

Remarkably smooth given the high proof.
