Tastes very young. Watered down it still has a raw alcohol vapor flavor. Kind of offputting. Also getting cereal and caramel. Not a top choice, it really needs a few more years in the barrel.

First toasted bourbon, traditional notes of vanilla and caramel but softer edges and the wood sugars add complexity. Waiting to buy a second bottle
Very good for such a young bourbon. Great value. If you like oak, this is a winner
Store pick, surprisingly mellow for a younger bourbon. Marshmallow, vanilla, & oak.
Definitely tasted the vanilla and some marshmallow. Good bourbon for sipping!
