A “wheated” bourbon meaning that it doesn’t have the spicy rye notes found in a more traditional “ryed” bourbon. A pleasantly sweet easy-going well-balanced experience. Creamy vanilla caramel candied corn and ripe berried fruit along with more subtle notes of glazed orange cocoa powder and wood shavings. If I were going to ease a new bourbon drinker into the category I might pick this one. (Bottled for Binny’s Beverage Depot).
