SHARE WITH: Anyone who likes bourbon.
WORTH THE PRICE: Not for me. It’s a nice whiskey, but there are many other bourbons more flavorful and interesting at less than half the price.
BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: Bar. I’m sure there are people who will enjoy this softie.
OVERALL: This is a good but unremarkable bourbon. It is a pleasant, easy drinker that is best savored neat. Even a few drops of water softened it appreciably, making rocks pretty much out of the question. A cocktail? Not for me.
