Review:

Although it presents with more savory wood than I was expecting from the 78% corn mash bill, I do enjoy the vanilla and oak presence. This bourbon is not going to knock your socks off but it is a fairly easy sipper and adds some great oak notes to a Coke or Dr. Pepper. For a sub $20 price tag it is worth trying out.

My Rating: Sip it! It is a great bang for the buck bourbon.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!

-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
