Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Light and solventy.
P: A general sweetness with a hint of rye fades into...
F: ...a little butterscotch and then a dry woodiness (toothpicks).
Drinkable, sweet, and just ok.

Nose has very light caramel and peanuts, with a tinge of nutmeg. Palate is a lighter and moderately-sweet apple-vanilla-honey deal, with some caramel. This gets a little bit boozy in the finish, particularly in the very end, but I still like it. It's a nice bourbon, and seems like it would especially please the casual on-the-rocks bourbon drinker. B/B-
