Jeremy Starr 4.5

A very good performance from the brand. A spirited contender, packing more punch than the typically gently refined spirit. It offers a bold cherry flavor that moves into maple syrup and then oak, leaving no rough edges. A moderate heat, but don't overlook it. Considering the price, it's a definite buy.

Suzette Julian 4.5

This bourbon is incredibly smooth. It's very light, with an initial watery character. Hints of vanilla and butterscotch are present, leading to a dry finish. Overall, it's very easy to drink on a regular basis.

Harrison Crum 3.0

A solid, dependable bourbon; the distillery hits the mark. While superior bourbons exist, the value proposition of this brand is undeniable for the cost.

Kenzie Tello 3.5

Mild flavor with a cigar box finish. Floral notes emerge when water or ice is added.

Benson Thornton 4.3

Nose offers a hint of tobacco spice. Taste is full of spice notes with a smooth, warm finish.

Jody Aldrich 4.5

This is, quite frankly, a fantastic bourbon that leaves a wonderful lingering taste.
