Nose
Corn-forward with honeysuckle and hay notes; soft with honey sweetness and corn pop cereal character.
Palate
Balanced and smooth with sweet spice upfront, light rye spice in the middle, cereal notes, and minimal bitterness on the back end. Less corn than on the nose. Well-rounded without being aggressive.
Finish
Short and clean, light on the back palate with minimal lingering notes.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
An approachable, well-balanced younger bourbon that works equally well as a neat sipper or mixer, making it an excellent introduction to bourbon at an attractive price point.
