Great bourbon. Initial sweetness on the palette that opens to oak and spice. Long finish with a noticeable but subtle burn.

Solid bourbon.
 
Justin
Justin,
A very good whiskey. Immediate spicy nose with a subtle fruity flavor on the pallet. It has a smooth finish that I cannot describe but looking at the flavor swirl maybe it’s the milk or cocoa. Definitely enjoyable and pleasant sipper on the rocks. I would order it if I saw it at a bar but wouldn’t put my name on a waiting list to buy a bottle.

Too spicy for my liking but it was a gift.

MICHAEL,
Surprisingly complex. Walks you through all taste and temporal aspects you expect in a classic bourbon. Not too tame at any point on the journey. Not too strong/harsh - just right for me and I appreciate a little hug. I drink neat and this is dangerous to my palate - really good

Henry,
I love this stuff! One of my very favorites!
 
Crow
Crow,
This was a pleasant surprise. Its strong but smooth, great on ice. I will be ordering this again.
 
Jason
Jason,
Red hots right off the start followed by toffee, more spicy, a bit of sweetness and liquor. Very firm bourbon that does well on a rock ice cube to open it up.

Exceptional. Well rounded and perfect neat.

Brilliant. Very sweet, almost strawberry flavor, smooth finish.

Classic bourbon in a high-proof wrapper. Provides a lot of enjoyment and hits all the right notes at a price that doesn't break the bank.

Nick,
Loved this. Not overly expensive but extra tasty.
 
Chris
Chris,
For the price what is not to like? Cask strength and still delicious. It's not the best but certainly not the worst. 9 stars because it's priced right and pretty darn good.
 
Erik
Erik,
A real sleeper bottle that is not on a lot of peoples radars but absolutely should be, fantastic bourbon
 
Ben
Ben,
Solid cask strength bourbon.
 
Richard
Richard,
This hits all the typical bourbon notes. It's very nice, doesn't drink as hot as the high proof would suggest. It's just not that interesting. After the first taste the finish is quick and not that complex. Great start for someone not used to cask strength. Not that satisfying for experienced bourbon drinkers.
 
Michael
Michael,
One of the first bourbons I tried and still one of my all time favorites.
 
Zane

Spice and milk chocolate work together in perfect harmony. Absolutely delicious!
