Nose
Cinnamon, rice spice, peanut brittle sweetness, a touch of salted butter, corn notes.
Palate
Spicy with cinnamon and peppery notes, peanut brittle sweetness that carries across the palate, little bit of oak coming through on subsequent sips, vanilla taffy character, good balance between sweetness and bitterness, coats the mouth nicely without being dry.
Finish
Medium length, peppery and spicy finish with lingering sweetness, little bit of bitterness on the back end, not overly drying.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A reasonably well-balanced, solid everyday bourbon that lacks complexity but stands toe-to-toe with its peers in the $15–20 price range and offers good value as a one-liter bottle.
