This is my favorite budget bourbon, its about 18$/bottle, and stands up to a lot of bourbons that cost 10 to 15$ more. I would say its better than more expensive bourbons, but there isnt a consistent quality from bottle to bottle, sometimes, I buy a bottle and it is absolutely great, smooth, full of sweetness, caramal, and vanilla, with a nice warm punch in your chest. Other times, its just meh.
