  • The palate continues the corn sweetness with additional notes of cinnamon, baking spices, graham cracker, and oakiness. The finish is long with notes of sweet corn, more spices, and lingering oakiness.

  • Not the most complex bourbon on the block, but I really like it. It’s sweet, soft and (not a fan of this word when describing whiskeys, but it undoubtedly is) smooth.

House Review
  • Nose:

    The nose is sweet, simple and vaguely starchy. French toast, vanilla, cornbread and cherry.

  • Taste:

    Moderate viscosity on the palate, which is quite tasty. Vanilla cupcake frosting and buttered French bread meet on a profile that’s quite jammy; strawberry jelly and syrupy cherry lead the way.

  • Finish:

    The finish opens with milk chocolate-covered almonds and espresso beans, sprinkles in some tobacco and a dusting of cinnamon and then settles on a profile of black cherry and flan.

  • Overall:

    Not the most complex bourbon on the block, but I really like it. It’s sweet, soft and (not a fan of this word when describing whiskeys, but it undoubtedly is) smooth.
