Aroma: sweetness, caramel, honey Flavor: very smooth and warm, a slight delayed burn, wonderful caramel and toffee notes, honey, not much oak or smokiness. Conclusion, this bourbon is fantastic and for the price, totally worth it.
It's alright, not amazing, but not bad. Tastes somewhat like Irish whiskey. A slight sting on the way down. Only had a small sample, I should revisit it.
Light caramel on the nose, peppery taste, mild finish. Good body for a lower proof. A solid purchase at $35.
Frankly, it exceeded my expectations. This ranked among the best bourbons I've had this year.
It has some bite, but it's good.
Enjoyable tasting session with a friend
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
