Middle of the pack
Right down the middle. Reviews and price both sit mid-pack. Breaking Bourbon gives it 3.5/5, vs. 3/5 for the typical bourbon (357 rated). The Bourbon Culture gives it 8.2/10, vs. 7.8/10 for the typical bourbon (473 rated). Thin data, two sources.
Uncut, unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled straight from the barrel at full barrel proof, produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, KY. Released in periodic batches with varying proof and age statements.
