What Gary Says
Nose: Corn, soft oak, allspice and a bit of honey.
Palate: Round mouthfeel, sweet with vanilla, hint of caramel, pears, cinnamon and pepper spice.
Finish: Short with oak, wood spices and vanilla.
Comments: This tastes like what you would expect a young, three year old bourbon to taste like. Corn forward on the nose and smooth. The lack of filtration is a plus, and comes across in the mouthfeel. Nothing objectionable, but also nothing inspiring or special – and while $35 isn’t a “premium” price point, there’s a long list of bourbons I’d prefer for the same or less money.
