Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Sweet, with a noticeable rye influence. But it's a bit hot and a bit rough in the finish. Nothing fancy.

Chris

N: Rye dominated with citrus and floral notes.
P: The high rye content really shines through with some big spice, vanilla, and a hint of breakfast cake. Dry to slightly oily.
F: Long and clean, spice lingers.
I tried a slew of low priced bourbons when selecting those for the American Whiskey Primer, and this was my favorite in the ryed bourbon category.

Sku

Nose: Toffee, maple syrup, banana and rye

Palate: Syrupy, vanilla with some spice in the background (pepper) then at the very end a nice woody note.

Finish: Wood, vanilla extract, corn syrup.

A decent balance of sweet and woody notes if a bit one dimensional.
