Breaking Bourbon

It’s a very serviceable bourbon that doesn’t do anything to offend, and kind of just is.

The Daily Pour

It’s not the most complex pour on the block, but it is easy to enjoy and is well positioned as a perfect introduction to Kentucky bourbon.

House Review

Nose:
Sweet and bready, with gobs of caramel, sweet pastry and nutty notes like peanut brittle and toffee. Light profile overall with little to no oak to be found.
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel, pleasant viscosity. Bananas, caramel candy, honey, pepper and a touch of clove and peanut brittle. There's a prickle of ethanol but nothing too crazy. It’s pleasant enough for 45.4%.
Finish:
Moderate finish with more baking spice than sweetness, although there’s plenty of caramel, nuttiness and a touch of raisin bread hiding in the finish.
Overall:
Pleasant enough. It’s not the most complex pour on the block, but it is easy to enjoy and is well positioned as a perfect introduction to Kentucky bourbon.
