This is a fantastic bourbon, definitely something worth trying and adding to your collection. Its rich sweet corn and oak flavors seem to blend perfectly to make this New York Straight Bourbon a force to be reckoned with. It has a long, resonating, and very pleasant finish that will leave you very satisfied.

Billy Brown 3.0

Really heavy oak at the start. Though I loved it at first, but after a few drams I've cooled off on this one.

jd139 4.0

The description is accurate. It has a strong flavor and can stand up to ice.
