Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points – This bourbon shows classic aromas of warm cornbread, sawdust, and toasted vanilla bean. The palate is silky and luxurious filling the mouth with a slight sweetness and a hint of spice. A perennial standby value. – 2 | Rich tawny amber hue. Lean woody aroma. A firm attack leads to a medium bodied palate with a drying woody character. Dry, warm finish.
