One of the worst MGP bourbons I’ve ever tasted. Notes of sawdust, hay and furniture polish. I kinda knew when I saw the bottle what I was getting into, but this is definitely a lipstick on a pig situation folks. Avoid if you can, but if you don’t at least it’s a cool bottle to reuse.

not your average bourbon taste, but definitely has unique. If you don't think of it as a bourbon and straight up as an alcohol, you may be surprised with a sweet and light over taste come without that typical "bourbon burn"
Nose is very floral and can smell not a lot of complexity. Got gifted the bottle and is a cool display piece but the bourbon is underwhelming. Very young and just okay. Hard to say no to free.
Solidly one of the worst bourbons I've ever tasted. Very heavy chemical smell and taste. Reminded me of the old powdered soap (comet) that grandma used to clean oil off the garage floor.
It’s a solid bourbon, received it as a gift from the wife. It does offer an oily finish, not bad.
Lightly spiced vanilla caramel on the nose. A bit oily with a flash of char. Underrated.
