Review: Taste - As always, we'll start with the taste. For a $19 dollar bottle, this has a decent amount of flavor. I did get the flavor of the oak, however, I didn't get any honey. Surprisingly, it goes down pretty well for a bourbon this cheap. Score 26 out of 35
when you turned the car off, the engine would start sputtering... so if you had the key out, but hit the gas, the driver could operate the car without the key. That story reminds me of Evan Williams 1783.... Even after I've tasted the bourbon, it still lingers. Score 10 out of 25
Intangibles: Color/Appearance - There isn't really anything original about the bottle or labeling. It's a bottle with stickers on it. In terms of the colors, it's got a medium dark complexion, which is nice. However, I wouldn't say this is something I would be overly proud to show people when they visit based on the appearance. Score 8 out of 15.
Availability - This seems pretty easy to find throughout central Ohio. I found it at Arena Spirits and also called a random liquor store (Ale, Wine, and Spirits) and they had it in stock. Score 5 out of 5
Overall Value - For $19, this may be my new go-to cheap bourbon. There isn't anything overly special about it, but for the price and overall value of the taste, this is a solid cheap bourbon. Score 13.5 out of 20.
Final Score: 61.5 out of 100
