Nose

A beguiling scent of vanilla infused honey. Somewhere far away in the background hints of cereals, hardly noticeable but an interesting counterpoint nonetheless.

Taste

Rather Strong. Honey pushes its way into the foreground – a true honey bomb! Again cereals, now clearly identifiable as spicy rye. This spiciness forms a beautiful contrast to all the honey sweetness.

Finish

A touch of vanilla, almost too short.

Conclusion

A well-made bourbon with the right balance between honey and rye. Surprising complex for an entry level bourbon. If the finish could keep up with the rest…

Score: 87 / 100
