A fine bottle with nice flavor to it. It's pretty much a vanilla bomb. Vanilla. Frosting. Citrus. Nice burnt note. Some pine in the nose. Continuous vanilla throughout tasting it. Very sweet. Ends with oak and dark caramel with some spice. Lingers in a bitter way. It's a drinkable bottle. Straightforward.

Nose: soft nose, faint vanilla notes Taste: good and lingering heat, nice rye, light sweetness from the softness Overall: a great everyday drinking bourbon, not a hot rye at 90 proof, very well blended. Dangerously easy to drink
Very light vanilla smell. Kind of a long burn and nothing really stands out other than a long long tongue burn. For a high rye (which I love) it’s disappointing. Won’t buy it again.
Nose is almost rubbing alcohol and taste is about the same. This was a gift, which I appreciate, but would never purchase as getting through the entire bottle was a chore.
First time tasting this one. I can’t get past the “young bourbon” taste. It’s on the higher end of young, craft bourbons but really not my thing.
Good bourbon for a 5 year. Non chill filtered helps with a sweeter taste. It’s defiantly drinkable and wouldn’t hurt to own a bottle
