Nose
Sweet vanilla and caramel with hints of fruit; somewhat hot with alcohol initially, but opens up after a few minutes in the glass.
Palate
Sweet forward notes with little complexity on the front end; sweetness builds in the middle of the tongue; white pepper and mild spice on the finish.
Finish
Peppery with white pepper notes; does not linger long; sweet overall without much dryness.
Overall Score
2.75 / 5
A young, sweet bourbon that competes well for the price but lacks depth and finish length.
