Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Notes: Strong caramel and oak, wood polish, pretty standard aged Heaven Hill notes.
Palate: Starts sweet and surprisingly light but then develops leather and wood, with a nice bit of acid going down.
Finish: Mostly woody.

A nice bourbon that's well balanced. I bet this would have been great at barrel strength.

B/B+
