Oak tannins, root beer and prominent grape soda start the show off. Cinnamon and herbal grassy notes settle in therafter. Finish is fairly long and lingers with a funky herbal undertone with grape soda still lingering. Nice throat burn that lasts a while. Very solid for the price point.
Re-reviewing since the last time it just tasted like a standard bourbon. This whiskey is kinda syrupy - sweet, it has a good note of vanilla and cherry. Not my favorite sipper, but a certainly solid whiskey
Nice evolving flavor. Thorough finish. Mouth feel a little thin. Not the boldest flavor, but unique and very pleasing.
Spice at start finishing with char flavor. Not as sweet as one would expect for 60% corn on mashbill.
Caramel and vanilla on nose. Fruit on palate. Drank it neat. Great pour!
Caramel on the nose charred oak finish
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
