51% corn, rye bourbon
Nose
Vanilla and oak with classic bourbon aromas. Light alcohol presence with subtle pear notes from barley and hints of cherry. Nutty character present but light overall.
Palate
Vanilla and oak-forward with cherry coming through. Not overly rich but packed with vanilla. Decent body at 90 proof, not thin.
Finish
Warm and oaky with a little drying effect from alcohol. Oak is very present on the finish with a comforting warmth.
Satisfying
A solid middle-of-the-road rye bourbon that drinks easy neat, versatile for mixing or cooking, and represents excellent value at the price point.
