$40–$45
67% corn, 19% wheat, 9% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Light initially with subtle oak presence; soft and initially reserved; develops caramel notes over time in the glass.
Palate
Soft entry, impressive mid-palate impact; salivation-inducing mid-palate transition; sides of tongue deliver balanced sweetness and spice; finishes at the back palate.
Finish
Light dryness with good balance; not overly tannic.
Very good
A well-balanced four-grain wheated bourbon with surprising depth on the mid-palate despite a deceptively soft entry; finishes clean and integrated.
