Amber color. Inviting aromas of caramel popcorn, spiced apples, leather, maple, and brown butter with a slightly chewy, vibrant, dry medium body and a sleek, complex, medium-long milk chocolate, pecan marzipan, toffee, and espresso finish. An instantly appealing, classic Bourbon that can do no wrong.
93 The Whisky Advocate
Polished and nicely balanced, with caramel as the main note, followed by candied fruit, soft vanilla, sweet corn, and nougat. Subtle spice (ginger, cinnamon) and gentle oak on the finish round out the sweet notes. Easygoing demeanor and very drinkable. Great value too! A very pleasing, versatile bourbon. —John Hansell
