A solid bottle with enjoyable flavor. It's essentially a vanilla overload. Vanilla. Frosting. Citrus. A pleasant burnt note. Some pine on the nose. Consistent vanilla throughout the tasting. Very sweet. Concludes with oak and dark caramel alongside some spice. Lingers with a bitter quality. It's a drinkable bottle. Uncomplicated.

Nose: Gentle aroma, with faint vanilla notes. Taste: Good and lasting warmth, nice rye character, and light sweetness from its smoothness. Overall: An excellent bourbon for daily drinking, not a harsh rye at 90 proof, very well balanced. Dangerously easy to consume.
Very faint vanilla aroma. A rather prolonged burn with nothing truly prominent besides a lengthy, intense tongue burn. For a high rye (which I adore) it's a letdown. I will not repurchase it.
The aroma is akin to rubbing alcohol, and the taste is similar. While I appreciate the gift, finishing the bottle was a struggle, and I would not buy it myself.
Tasting this for the first time. I can't get past the "young bourbon" flavor. It's on the higher end of immature, craft bourbons, but truly not my preference.
A respectable bourbon for a 5-year-old. Non-chill filtration contributes to a sweeter profile. It's certainly drinkable and worth considering for purchase.
